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.
• 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", "sftp", "smb",
and "wsd (printer)", Spool Printing cannot be performed.

Spool Printing can be set using telnet or Web Image Monitor.
