Print Tab
To print FormTrap documents, FTSpooler needs a PCL5 or PCLXL (PCL6) or PostScript compatible printer installed on the system. FormTrap uses only the printer's physical location and needs only one printer defined to print in any of that printer's available languages. You can print in (say) PostScript by selecting a PCL printer and vice versa. Selecting multiple printers prints one copy on each selected printer and is the best way to produce collated copies.

Printing from a Single Queue
Associated File entry print may be used to efficiently control printing. You will require a data value that equates to a physical printer via substitution. Typical data values are Branch, Sales Person or Location, used to substitute the printer name in an associated file entry that reads print=\\server\printername where \\server\printername are printers on your network. You can copy \\server\printer from (Windows 7) Control Panel, Devices and Printers, select a printer, Properties and copy the name as shown.
