Managing Print Jobs in Windows
Your Windows printer software includes two management utilities: the Spool Manager and Status Monitor.
❏The Spool Manager starts automatically when you send a job to the printer. It allows you to print in the background while you continue to work on your computer and to queue jobs to print at a later time. If you’re using your printer on a network, it also handles multiple print jobs that come in at the same time.
❏The Status Monitor, which is available only if you’re using Windows 95, also starts automatically when you send a job to the printer. It displays in the lower right corner of your screen to alert you about printer and ink status, as described on page 9.
Note:
The Status Monitor doesn’t work if you’re printing over a network.
Using the Spool Manager
The Spool Manager works like the Windows Print Manager.
❏To open it while you’re printing, click the Spool Manager icon that appears on the Taskbar (Windows 95) or at the bottom of your desktop (Windows 3.1).
