14.4 On Using SMB
However, if the power is switched off immediately after the print data has been sent, the data may be stored in the host device. In this case, when the power is switched on again, the stored print data will be printed first even if new print data has been specified.
14.4.3During Printing
Take note of the following when printing:
When SMB Spool is set to Hard Disk or Memory (spool mode)
If the print data is larger than the hard disk or the remaining memory capacity at the point of receiving data, the data will not be received by the printer.
Some client computers may
When SMB Spool is set to Off
The printer will process print data as soon as data is being received. If the printer has accepted a print request from a host computer, it will not receive another print request from another host computer.
When the IP address or computer name is changed
When the IP address or computer name of a PC/workstation is changed, it may not be able to process enquiries or deletion requests from the printer correctly. Make sure the printer is free of all spooled data and then switch off/on the printer.
The function to stop/eject print data spooled to the printer spool can be setup from the control panel. Refer to "3.3 Cancelling Printing from Printer" and "3.4 Forced Out- putting" for information on the setup method.
When printer is in offline mode
If the printer receives print request from a host device when it is in offline mode, it will not receive the data and an error message dialog box will be displayed on the host device. However, with SMB, print data will be sent from the host computer even in offline mode.
Deleting jobs
For Windows NT 4.0, you cannot delete jobs if it is not installed with Service Pack 3 and above. If you delete jobs while the computer is receiving data, an error message will be displayed. When this happens, the Retry button on the error message is not effective.
