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 blinks. Turning off the computer or machine during Spool Printing can damage the hard disk. Also, if the computer or machine is turned off during Spool Printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Therefore, do not turn the power of the computer or machine off during Spool Printing.

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

Use a web browser to display and/or delete spooled print jobs stored in the printer. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.) To delete a spooled print job, log in to Web Image Monitor in the administrator mode. For details, see Web Image Monitor Help.
