50 9 Precautions and Limitations
When SMB Spool Is Set to [Off] (Non-spool Mode)
All the print data spooled in the printer receive buffer, including print data which is being
output, will be deleted. When the printer is switched on again, the print data will not be
found.
However, if the power is switched off immediately after the print data has been sent, the
data may be stored in the computer. In this case, when the power is switched on again, the
stored print data will be printed first even if new print data has been specified.
Printing
Take note of the following when printing:
When SMB Spool Is Set to [Hard Disk] or [Memory] (Spool Mode)
If the print data is larger than the hard disk or the remaining memory capacity at the point
of receiving data, the data will not be received by the printer.
Note
• Some client computers may re-send immediately when the print data has exceeded the receiving
capacity. When this occurs, the client computer appears as if it has crashed. To rectify this situation, the
client computer must be stopped from sending print data.
When SMB Spool Is Set to [Off] (Non-spool Mode)
The printer will process print data as soon as data is being received. If the printer has
accepted a print request from a computer, it will not receive another print request from
another computer.
When the IP Address or Computer Name Is Changed
When the IP address or computer name of a computer is changed, it may not be able to
process enquiries or deletion requests from the printer correctly. Make sure the printer is
free of all spooled data and then switch off/on the printer.
Note
• The function to stop/eject print data spooled to the printer spool can be operated from the printer control
panel. Refer to the Setup and Quick Reference Guide for information on the operation.
When Printer Is in Offline Mode
If the printer receives print request from a computer when it is in offline mode, it will not
receive the data and an error message dialog box will be displayed on the computer.
However, with SMB, print data will be sent from the computer even in offline mode.
Deleting Jobs
For Windows NT 4.0, you cannot delete jobs if Service Pack 4 and other items noted above
are not installed. If you delete jobs while the computer is receiving data, an error message
will be displayed. When this happens, the Retry button on the error message is not effective.
