Error Messages from FormTrap Spooler |

|
FTSpooler keeps all the job processing and delivery information in one
job archive, and provides different views, i.e. All,
Delivered, Errors,
Data,
Replication, Formatting,
Working, and Logs.
Archive shows three panels: searching
and filtering, main panel
and detail panels.

Self Explanatory Errors |
Most errors from the Spooler itself are self explanatory, for example,
this one, in the left-hand panel of Archive, Errors:
Input type mismatch: expected input file
type is [PS], actual input type is [TXT]
Process [D:\Program Files\TCGIS\FTSpoolerV7-Server\ps2.exe], with arguments
[ps2 - dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=-- sstdout=%stderr -] returned an error code -100
Program is
saying it EXPECTS a PS file, |
expected input
file type is [PS] |
but no PS
file can be found, |
actual input
type is [TXT] |
hence the
process must be wrong, or |
Process..\ps2.exe |
the file attempted
to convert was a PCL or PCLXL file, or
|
|
a prior process may not
have generated the expected PS file.
|
|
Check by looking at the Archive,
All display of
files at the right,
if this shows (for example) .pcl
or .pclxl
files, you are presenting the wrong file type to this process.

Vague or Meaningless Errors |
If error is vague or even meaningless, then it is likely coming from
Windows. Please next look in the FormTrap Knowledge Base (within www.formtrap.com),
by entering keyword searches with key words from the error message. For
example, using “error code” as the keyword will
return common printer statii reported by Windows and what you can do
about them. |
