ASI has developed its own print spooler (RMSpool) for use with the RESTAURANT MANAGER™ POS System. RMSpool resolves problems occasionally encountered with standard Microsoft print spoolers and greatly simplifies the installation and testing of shared printers from a central location. You can use RMSpool (RMspool.exe) to setup shared printers without actually accessing the Windows Printer Folder.
Note: To maintain backward compatibility, RESTAURANT MANAGER™ still supports the Windows and DOS defined devices. A special symbol (# sign) is used to differentiate Restaurant Manager defined printers
RMSPOOL uses a master Printer Definition File (SPLSETUP.exe) to define all the shared printers on the network. In the definition file, a printer is uniquely identified by a Computer Name, a Printer Name and a standard Serial Port or IP address. When RMSpool is run on a computer with assigned shared printers, the assigned printers for that computer are immediately available to all other computers on the network.
Correct operation of the Print Spooler is so critical that you must follow both the Setup and the Testing procedures in the Print Spooler Setup section to ensure that the Print Spooler is working correctly on your system.
