Chapter 5 The Star WinType Print Manager

The Star WinType Print Manager helps you manage the output flow and the operation of your printer. You can see all the files waiting to be printed and you can change their order. You can also see how much of the current print job has already been processed. You can control the priority setting for printing relative to other applications running at the same time. Also, with the WinType Print Manager, you can print double-sided (manu- ally duplexed) pages in the Windows Direct (GDI) mode. When minimized, the print manager appears as an icon at the bottom of your screen. In this chapter, we'll explain the various facets of this program.
