Use 32-bit Spooler

Select this option for consistently faster print processing. This option is only
selectable if operating under Windows 95 or Windows 98 and if the included 32-Bit
Print Spooler software has been installed. When selected, this option allows the
printer driver to send all print jobs to the printerÕs 32-Bit Print Spooler rather than
to the system spooler of Windows. See Part C of this section for complete details on
the 32-Bit Print Spooler. This option and the 32-Bit Print Spooler software will not
function in Windows 3.1x.

Selecting this option provides the fastest print processing when printing exclusively

the Windows 3.1x Print Manager and to send all print data directly to the printer.
This option devotes all of your system resources to the current print job, thereby
increasing overall print speed. When the print job is finished, your system
resources will again be released and devoted to the normal function of your on-
screen applications.

Depending upon the processing speed and brand of your computer, you may or

most computers, selecting this option will enhance the speed of the rasterizing and

some computers, however, this option may either not be supported by the
