❏ To open the Spool Manager at any time, double-click the
Spool Manager4 icon in the EPSON program group or
folder.
You see the Spool Manager window:
When you send a job to your printer, your printer software
creates a temporary journal file, stores it in the C:\TEMP or
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder or directory, and assigns it to
a print queue. The software then sends the file to your
printer at the right time.
The Spool Manager window displays the status of your print
queues and journal files and lets you control them. Here are
some of the things you can do:
❏ Hold or release a queue
❏ Send journal files to your printer over a network
❏ Hold, re-queue, or delete a journal file
❏ Select the information you want to see in the Spool
Manager window
❏ Prevent the Despooler popup window from appearing on
your screen whenever you print
❏ Change your default spool directory
Deleting a Stalled Print Job
If you’re having trouble printing, it may be because of a
stalled print job. Follow these steps to delete it so you can
continue printing:

2. Click on any print jobs marked Held, then open the
Document menu and click Delete.
3. Exit Spool Manager and try printing again.
Changing the Default Spool Directory

then choose Setup from the Queue menu. The Queue
Setup dialog box appears.

step 1. Also make sure Use Print Manager for this port is

6. In the dialog box, change the spool directory to the one
you created in step 1. Then click OK.

on page 6.
