Chapter 1: Introduction
Spool and CSV files
The type of raw data used by FormPort Designer forms can be either spool
or CSV files. These file types are described in the following sections.
Spool file
Since computers and printers operate at different speeds, raw printer
instructions are temporarily stored as spool data. This frees the computer
to perform other tasks instead of waiting for the printer to finish. When
this printer data is saved to disk, it results in a spool file.
These spool files can be merged with and mapped to the forms created
with FormPort Designer.
