what is SPOOLING in computer...i want few good lines on this topiic for a seminar?

Answer 1

The term is commonly used to indicate that one or more printing jobs are waiting in memory for the physical printer to be ready. As that printer finishes an existing job the next job in the "printer spool" will become active and be printed, and so on. It has the advantage that a user need not wait for the computer to finish handling the printer before going on to another task.

An example would be if you prepared a spread sheet and then wanted to do a cover letter to send with it. You can use the computer for the spread sheet and then "send it to the printer" which really means add the printable material to the printer's tasks. While that is going on you can compose the cover letter and then send it to the printer also. It makes optimum use of your time and the printer's time.

Answer 2

Define Spooling

Answer 3

Acronym for simultaneous peripheral operations on-line, spooling refers to putting jobs in a buffer, a special area in memory or on a disk where a device can access them when it is ready. Spooling is useful because devices access data at different rates. The buffer provides a waiting station where data can rest while the slower device catches up.

The most common spooling application is print spooling. In print spooling, documents are loaded into a buffer (usually an area on a disk), and then the printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. Because the documents are in a buffer where they can be accessed by the printer, you can perform other operations on the computer while the printing takes place in the background. Spooling also lets you place a number of print jobs on a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.

Answer 5

There is a little button on the spool that is not popping out when retrieving. Inspect the spool carefully for obstructions on the pick up and cleanliness then use a drop or two of 3 in 1 oil and try reeling again.

Answer 6

The term SPOOLING refers to Simultaneous Peripheral Operations OnLine. This is a technique used by the operating system in a computer system to send data to low speed I/O devices like line printers for printing operation. Instead of directly sending data to the printer and wait for the printer to finish operation, the data is directly send to a high speed storage device like hard disk and the CPU can continue to execute other programs and can run to completion faster. When printer becomes available , the outputs may be printed. It is just like thread being spun to a spool so that it may be later unwound as needed
