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 cancel print jobs. You can also view print status information about the print jobs which have been sent to this product, as well as pause and resume selected print jobs.

After you send a print job, an EPSON Stylus CX4500 Series button appears on the taskbar. Click this button to open the EPSON Spool Manager.

To cancel a print job, select the job in the list, then click Cancel.
