Choices Conventional—Allows the Macintosh to print directly to the
printer rather than to a print spooler. In other words, a
single user can send only a single job at a time since the
printer ties up the Macintosh until the job has been printed.
If two users send print jobs to the printer, the Macintosh
belonging to the first user is tied up until the first job has
been printed, and the Macintosh belonging to the second
user is tied up until both jobs have been printed. A single
printer name is displayed in the Chooser (see “Notes,”
below).
Spooling—Allows the Macintosh to send a print job to the
printer even if it’s busy printing another job. In other words,
the print job is spooled on the printer, and the Macintosh is
free to continue working while the job is being printed. A
single printer name is displayed in the Chooser (see
“Notes,” below). Up to 4 print jobs can be spooling at the
same time.
» Note:
Make sure the Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/Common/Min K Spool menu
(where xxxxxxxx is either Resident or Optional) is set
large enough to support 4 jobs (approximately 800
KB).
Both—Provides both conventional and spooling capabilities.
Two printer names appear in the Chooser (see “Notes,”
below), and users can print to “both printers” at the same
time.
