Current Status Window (T27 Print Services)

When you run T27 Print Services, the Current Status window lists all print environments that exist in the current configuration file, as well as the status of any host print jobs that have been initiated.

Using the Current Status window, you can activate or deactivate a print environment, monitor data being printed, configure a print environment, close a spooled file manually, switch to the History Status window, print data in a Windows file, and exit Print Services.
