The HELiOS Spooler is a software program that allows a centralized processing or print and conversion jobs in a HELiOS environment. For this purpose the HELiOS Spooler is installed on a separate computer on the network. This computer must have enough memory, i.e. approx. 1 GB for the running software and, in addition, provide enough space for the plot data (these are saved to a temporary directory of the Spooler). The system on which the Spooler software will be running should not be logged off, but only locked.
Important:
The HELiOS Spooler must not be installed on the same system as the HELiOS Desktop. This may cause trouble with the Office integration, as both the HELiOS Desktop and the HELiOS Spooler install adjustments to Word and Excel. Besides, it is not recommended to use the system on which the HELiOS Spooler was installed as a normal workstation, because the HELiOS Spooler is usually supposed to be the only tool on the system to be used for print jobs.
A centralized handling of print and conversion jobs reduces the workload of workstation computers and thus optimises corporate processes.
Workstation computers with an installed HELiOS Desktop and/or several CAD systems send print or conversion jobs to the HELiOS Spooler via the HELiOS PrintClient.
