Unlike the 16 bit PARIS Spooler which has a one-to-one relationship with the
formatting engine, the 32 bit PARIS Spooler is capable of launching and
managing multiple formatting engines.

managing multiple formatting engines.
How the Spooler manages multiple engines
When a job arrives for processing, the 32 bit Spooler automatically searches
for an available formatting engine and assigns the job accordingly.
for an available formatting engine and assigns the job accordingly.
For example, if you had the Spooler running with 2 engines launched and a
1000 page job arrived followed by a 2 page job, the first job (1000 page) would
be assigned to one engine and the following job would be assigned to the other
available engine. This means that the second job does not have to wait until the
first job is completed.

How many engines can be added and
launched?
There is no upper limit to the number of engines launched by the Spooler, but
rather it is governed by the practical processing limits of the hardware
platform.
