Spooler

If your printer has an optional hard drive, you can use the spooler to place print jobs into a queue on that drive. This reduces return to application time by freeing the communications channel between the computer and printer. The Save Spooled Job feature allows you to save up to 250 print jobs on the hard drive for reprinting later. See “Spooler” in chapter 6 for details.

Spooling can be enabled for each interface independently through XANTÉ Command Center or the printer’s front panel Interface menus. Command Center also allows you to manage jobs in the spooler print queue.
