Using EPSON Spool Manager (for Windows Me and 98 SE only)

EPSON Spool Manager is similar to the 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, EPSON Spool Manager sends the job to the printer.
