This specifies that printing should not start until the last

page has been spooled. If your application program needs

a lot of time for further computation in the middle of

printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a

short period, the printer could prematurely assume that

the document has finished. Selecting this option would

prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a

little later, as the start is delayed.

5.

Start printing immediately

This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing

starts as soon as possible after the document begins

spooling.

6.

Print directly to the printer

This specifies that the document should not be spooled,

but printed directly. Your application will not normally be

ready for further use until the print job is complete. This

requires less disk space on your computer, since there is

no spool file.

7.

Hold mismatched documents

Directs the spooler to check the document setup and

match it to the printer setup before sending the document

to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held

in the print queue and does not print until the printer

setup is changed and the document restarted from the

print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will not

prevent correctly matched documents from printing.

8.

Print spooled documents first

Specifies that the spooler should favor documents which

have completed spooling when deciding which document

to print next, even if completed documents are lower

priority than documents which are still spooling. If no

documents have completed spooling, the spooler will

favor larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use

this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency.

When this option is disabled the spooler chooses

documents based only on their priority settings.

9.

Keep printed documents

Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents

after they are completed. This allows documents to be re-

submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of
