5.3 ESPOOL.EXE Print Spooler
One of the most frustrating things about using a computer
is the fact that whenever you send
~ata
out to your printer,
your system is often incapable of doing any other tasks
during the printing process. This problem can be especially
intolerable when printing long documents, since all that
time wasted by the computer just to print a long document
can definitely be put to better use.
On the RAM 3000 Deluxe software diskette is a program
called ESPOOL.EXE, which allows your computer to do
other tasks while the printer is printing a long document.
ESPOOL.EXE installs a print buffer of any size from lKB to
15360KB on any type of memory (base, extended, or ex-
panded), and can direct the contents of the print spooler to
any parallel or serial port in your computer.
5.3.1 Installing ESPOOL.EXE
1.
Use the DOS COpy command to copy the file
ESPOOL.EXE from the RAM 3000 Deluxe software
diskette to the root directory of your system disk.
2.
Type:
ESPOOL
[Enter]
That's all you need to do!
The print spooler is now
loaded into your system and ready to use.
