Methods of Printing with APU

You can use any of three methods to print with APU:

1.Manually associating a print definition with a specific spooled file. For manual printing, you just ªapplyº your print definition to a specific spooled file. Refer to ªManually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled Fileº.

2.Using the Apply Print Definition command, which enables you to imbed an APU printing step within existing application procedures. Refer to ªUsing the Apply Print Definition Commandº on page 82.

3.Using the APU Monitor to automatically identify the sample spooled file and run the conversion programs. This method is described in Chapter 6, ªAutomatic Printing with APU Monitorº on page 83.

Manually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled File

This process works as follows. Using your print definition, SUNSD1 or INVOICE, select option 2 from the APU Main Menu. The Work with Spooled Files panel appears.
