7.4.7 Spooler Function
(1) About the spooler function
This function enables to display files stored in the specified folder of the ATA card as print
jobs. This function also enables to request to issue, delete, and reissue a print job, and to
issue or delete all print jobs from a browser.
Print jobs can be stored in the ATA card, using the FTP function or the mail function. There
are three types of print jobs, a real-time print job, a spooled print job, and a completed job. A
real-time print job is printed immediately when it is stored in the ATA card. If a spooled print
job is stored in the ATA card, it is not printed until printing is requested from the browser. For
both print job types, after print data is transferred, the print job is stored in the ATA card as a
completed job.
(2) Setup
1) To store print jobs, create three folders in the ATA card.
• PRTDATA folder (/ATA0/PRTDATA)........for storing real-time print jobs
• PRTPOOL folder (/ATA0/PRTPOOL) .......for storing spooled print jobs
• PRTEND folder (/ATA0/PRTEND)............for storing completed jobs
2) Describe the update interval for the spooler function screen on the setup file. The setup file
should be saved as “http.ini” in the “http” folder on the ATA card.
How to describe the interval on the setup file is as follows:
• Update interval for the spooler function screen
Format INTERVAL=5
Set the update interval (sec.) for the spooler function screen.
An interval within the 0- to 32767- sec. range (approximately 9 hours) can be set.
Setup file example:
\http\http.ini (/ATA0/HTTP/HTTP.INI)
A line starting with # means a comment line and is not processed.
INTERVAL=5
In this case, the spooler function screen is updated every 5 seconds.
NOTES: • If there is no “http” folder or “http.ini” file on the ATA card, the spooler function
screen is updated every 5 seconds.
• If the interval value is set to “0”, the spooler function screen is not updated.
