Checking Print Job & Printer Status; Understanding The Epson Spool Manager - Epson Pro 5000 Reference Manual

Checking Print Job & Printer Status
When a print job is sent to the printer from a Windows 95- or
Windows 3.1-based application, the EPSON Spool Manager
starts automatically. The Spool Manager for Windows 95
displays the Progress Meter, which shows the status of the
current print job and the status of printer consumables such as
ink (not available on certain systems). The Spool Manager for
Windows 3.1 displays the Despooler, which shows the status
of the current print job.

Understanding the EPSON Spool Manager

The EPSON Spool Manager is similar to Windows Print
Manager and is available for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1. If
the Spool Manager receives two or more print jobs at one time,
it puts them in a line (with printers on a network this may be
called a print queue) in the order received. When a print job
reaches the top of the line, the EPSON Spool Manager sends
the job to the printer.
For Windows 95
To access the Spool Manager from Windows 95, click the
EPSON Stylus Pro 5000 button after it appears on the taskbar.
You can see the status and information for the print jobs and
also you can cancel, pause and resume, or restart selected print
jobs from the Spool Manager for Windows 95.
