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 queue, the EPSON Spool Manager sends the job to the printer. You can cancel print jobs from the Spool Manager. You can also view status information about print jobs, as well as pause and resume or restart printing.

After you send a print job, your printer button will appear in the lower right corner of your screen. Click this button to open the EPSON Spool Manager.

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