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.

Important

  • Spool Printing is available only when the optional hard disk is installed.

  • During Spool Printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data In indicator flashes. 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 off the power of the computer or printer during Spool Printing.

  • If data is sent to the printer using other protocols besides "diprint", "lpr", "ipp", "ftp", "sftp", "smb", and "wsd (printer)", Spool Printing cannot be performed.

Press the [Menu] key, and then select the setting items using the [Down arrow key ] or [Up arrow key ] key.

Note

  • Printing the first page with Spool Printing will be slow.

  • The computer requires less print processing time when large amounts of data are spooled.

  • Stored spool jobs can be viewed or deleted using Web Image Monitor. For details, see Web Image Monitor Help.

  • The list of spool jobs cannot be viewed from the printer's control panel.
