Xante 3 Series warranty Spooler

Spooler

If your printer has an optional hard drive, you can use the spooler to place up to 250 print jobs into a queue on that drive. The spooler reduces return to application time for a print job by freeing the communications channel between the computer and the printer.

Save Spooled Job allows you to retain print jobs in the spooler’s queue indefinitely. These jobs can be reprinted from the queue, eliminating the time required to process the file and send it to the printer.

When a job is sent over a spooled interface, it is not processed immediately. It is assigned a job ID and added to the end of the spooler’s job queue on the printer’s hard drive. Jobs can be spooled to the hard drive while the printer is performing normal PostScript processing.

When the printer is in the READY/IDLE state (no jobs are currently being processed), jobs are processed from the spooler’s job queue in the order they were received.

After the job is processed, it is deleted from the spooler’s job queue. If Save Spooled Job is enabled, the job is saved to the printer’s hard disk for future use.

To use Save Spooled Job, the spooler must be enabled on the printer port you are using, the spooler option must be configured in the PPD, and the printer must have a hard disk attached. Set Save Spooled Job from your application Print dialog box. True enables the feature and False disables it.

Control spooling to each printer interface independently using either the Interface configuration menus or XANTÉ Command Center. See chapter 3 (Macintosh) or 4 (PC) about configuring the PPD and using the spooler. See “Interface Control” earlier in this chapter for information about configuring the spooler on the printer’s port.
