spooling
Data buffer holding
Spooling is the process of transferring data to a temporary storage area for later processing.
In computing, print jobs spool to a queue, waiting their turn at the printer.
The term comes from the image of winding thread onto a spool—data accumulates in an orderly sequence until it can be unwound.
The document is spooling to the printer.
