Explanation

When a Windows application sends a print job, the Windows print subsystem creates an EMF (Enhanced Metafile Format) spool file. EMF is a device-independent format that describes the page content as a series of GDI (Graphics Device Interface) commands. The spooler stores the job as an EMF file temporarily before the printer driver converts it to a printer-specific format. EME, MEM, and CME are not valid Windows print spool file formats.
