spooler for Advanced Server for UNIX, which is then configured automatically.

●You may only use one spooler at a time.

When printing with Advanced Server for UNIX, the print data is a lready processed

with the PC applications. For this reason, the spooler must pass on this print data

“transparently” to the respective printer; it may not modify it under any ci rcum-

stances. To do this, the spooler interface for Advanced Server for UNIX passes on

the print job in raw mode. Therefore, you can use every printer on the UNIX system

for Advanced Server for UNIX as long as it is supported by the PC application.

Before you can use a spooler with Advanced Server for UNIX, you must configu re printer

classes / groups and printers. You may only use the printers with Advanced Server for UNIX

if it is possible to print from UNIX with the configured printers.
