WinSpool Electronic Forms spools PCL file to output queue in HOLD status

Problem:

WinSpool Electronic Forms Print Server is setup to merge the spool file with a form and spool a PCL file back to a print queue. However, it does not print immediately due to the fact that the PCL file is uploaded in HLD status. It must be released to print.

Solution:

There are few steps that will need to be completed:

  1. In "Edit Form Print Output Directory List" the field for "Hold/Release Spool" needs to be set to "NO" This tells the print server not to upload in Hold Status
  2. Setp 1 will cause the upload command to get too long. Open File > Settings and enable the checkbox for "Enable 1024 byte AS/400 command lines" to give the Print Server the appropriate amount of room to run the full upload command.
  3. It may also be necessary to download an update for the WinSpool/400 32-Bit TCP/IP API. This can be found at the following location:
