Using EPSON Spool Manager

EPSON Spool Manager is similar to Windows Print Manager. If it receives two or more print jobs at one time, it holds them in the order that they were received (with printers on a network this may be called a print queue). When a print job reaches the top of the line, the EPSON Spool Manager sends the job to the printer. From the Spool Manager, you can view print status information about the print jobs which have been sent to your printer. You can also cancel, pause and resume, or restart selected print jobs.

Note:

EPSON Spool Manager is not available for Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Macintosh.

For Windows 98 and 95

After you send a print job, an EPSON Stylus COLOR 680 button appears on the taskbar. Click this button to open the EPSON Spool Manager.

For Windows 3.1

After you send a print job, the EPSON Spool Manager icon appears at the bottom of your desktop. Double-click this icon or the Spool Manager icon in the EPSON group to open EPSON Spool Manager. For more information, see online help.
