Spool / Loc

 

 

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.
