Introduction to FormTrap

FormTrap's production environment receives, identifies, splits into individual documents, formats and automatically delivers finished documents. Formatting produces a deliverable document (PCL and PostScript for printing, PDF for email, tiff for faxing, HTML for Emailing). Delivery methods include printing, email, fax, outputting as a file to a nominated location on the disk or initiating your other tasks to accomplish additional delivery methods or other processes.

Version 8.9 introduced HTML Email, Version 8.11 included TSL/SSL Email (Office 365, Gmail, Yahoo, others).

Server Connection

Connection is NOT available from the Small Business Edition (SBE) which uses a PROGRAM rather than a SERVER process. Most of the other sections are identical between SBE and Enterprise Editions, except where noted (in red) like this.

To search FormTrap servers on the local network, click on the Discover FormTrap Servers button. It finds FormTrap Server(s) available and displays the name(s) and IP address(es) on the log panel at the bottom of the screen. Normally, just one FormTrap Server is present.

To auto-connect the first FormTrap Server, click on the Discover and Auto-Connect button.

On the Connect panel, key in the FormTrap Server location (IP address) from the log panel, User name, and Password.

User Admin is the only user with full control of FormTrap Server. The username cannot be changed or deleted. The password formtrap is the default for user Admin and can be modified in Setup, Users. Other users may have limited control of FormTrap Server, and are required to provide the administrator password when making changes that may affect other users.
