Spool Printing

Spool printing allows print jobs transferred from a computer to be temporarily stored, and then prints them after they are transferred. This shortens printing time as it maximizes printer efficiency.

During spool printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data In indicator blinks. Turning off the computer or printer during spool printing can damage the hard disk. Also, if the computer or printer is turned off during spool printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Therefore, do not turn the power of the computer or printer off during spool printing.
If data is sent to the printer using other protocols besides "diprint" and "lpr", spool printing cannot be performed.
