The Spool / Loc screen presents information about the locations in the Spooler.
A location defines the device to receive a job. Locations have various attributes associated with them, such as font. If no Device is defined, the job waits in the Spooler.
Locations are defined as associated with a Device and optionally a Font. Locations are statically and dynamically created. Static locations are created when the Spooler is configured. Dynamic locations are created when a process opens a Spool Collector and outputs to a location not statically defined. Dynamic locations generally cause jobs to sit in the Ready state until they are either deleted or their location is changed to a Static, which in turn causes the Job to print.
