Spool Messages One of the principles of the MultiPro platform is that it delivers one message per
device at a time. Generally, however, it can be overridden with this option.
Normally, if a host sends a message to a specific station, the MultiPro platform
does not accept another message from the host for that device until the previous
one is delivered.
In the case of remote printers, though, it may be desirable to have the second
message already on its way through the network while the first message is still be
being delivered. This option allows the host port to accept a second message for a
device, even though the first message has not yet been delivered.
