Displaying the Status of Spooler Components

Spoolcom can display the status of collectors, printers, print processes, the spooler

routing structure, and the spooler itself, as well as any spooler job you own.

You can use these commands from a TACL or Spoolcom prompt, or a command file.

For example, to display the status of the spooler process, enter the Spoolcom SPOOLER

command at the TACL prompt:

Spoolcom displays the spooler process status and returns you to the TACL program.

Your spooler subsystem has many printers, jobs, and related routing structures.

Therefore, to display only specific information, specify a single entity such as a job

number, the name or number of a printer, or a location name:

1. Use Peruse to list your spooler jobs in the spooler system, and the job location.

For example, this display shows that your job is number 566 at location #HT4:

2. Exit Peruse, and use the Spoolcom LOC command to display the status of the

printer that is to print your job.

For example, to find the location assigned to printer #HT4 and the jobs in its queue:
