FTSpooler stores error messages from component
programs in files for troubleshooting purposes.
The error log of FormTrap component is saved into the
file "formtrap.txt", the FormTrap Splitter (ftsplit)
errors are stored in the "splitlog.txt" and FTSpooler
itself logs errors into Windows Event Viewer. Files "splitlog.txt"
and "formtrap.txt" are located in the user's profile,
Application Data\TCGIS folder.
Default Formatting Options allow users to
specify specific formatting preferences for the forms
being processed by the queue.
Option
Description
All options must be in the format -x[option].
Multiple options should be separated by a
comma. For example, -xnocolor,nopjl
-xcolor/ -xcolour
Use HP PCL5c color commands.
-xnocolor/ -xnocolour
Do NOT use HP PCL5c color commands (default).
-xres
Use high-resolution user-defined PCL fill
patterns (default).
-xnores
Do NOT use high-resolution user-defined PCL
fill patterns.
-xpjl
Use HP Printer Job Language before and after
print job to setup printer and reset it
(default).
-xnopjl
Do NOT use HP Printer Job Language before
and after print job to setup printer and
reset it.
-xgl2
Use HP GL/2 for advanced drawing (default).
-xnogl2
Do NOT use HP GL/2 for advanced drawing.
-xbigfont
Turns on support for sending True Type font
headers to the printer that are larger than
32767 bytes.
-xnobigfont
Type 2 font headers
(under 32Kb) are used when sending
downloaded fonts. REQUIRED for Lexmark T63x,
T64x and T65x printers and all others that
do not support Type 3 font headers.
Note: Default
is
nobigfont
for version 6.3 and lower,
bigfont
for version 6.4 and later.
FTSpooler allows you to define maximum
thresholds for certain processes to control.
Maximum threads per queue - FTSpooler is
capable of maintaining a number of concurrent
processing threads for each queue, up to 64 by
default. This value refers to the maximum number of
FormTrap documents that can be simultaneously
processed by a given queue, including splitting,
formatting and delivery. There are two
main reasons that you may want to change the value:
To prevent exhaustion of system resources
- the problem typically occurs when one queue
splits input file to many documents and
re-directs them to the other queue. In such case
simultaneous execution of many threads may lead
to the system resources being exhausted.
To prevent jobs from the same queue
interfering with each other. This may occur when one of
the jobs (threads) prints multiple documents, and
it is important that no other job uses the
printer. Reducing this value to 1 ensures
a queue runs only one job at a time.
Maximum concurrent filters - This option
defines the maximum number of concurrent conversion
filter processes (e.g. PCL to PDF or PS to PDF).
This is important for memory intensive
conversion processes. Reduce this number if you have
conversion issues.
All options must be in the format -x[option].
