It is advisable to adjust the Spool Manager settings as follows to avoid mis- operation of the scanner during printing. (This procedure is not necessary on computers running Windows NT 4.0.)

How to Adjust the Spool Manager Settings

1.Click the [Start] button on the Windows taskbar and select [Programs], [Epson] and [Spool Manager].

2.Double click the icon of the printer currently in use.

3.Click to place a checkmark beside the [Use Print Manager for this port] option in the settings dialog.

* Selecting the [Use Print Manager for this port] setting causes the computer to spool all of the print data onto the hard drive before sending it to the printer, resulting in a printing speed that is moderately slower than if this setting is not selected.
