Facebook Video about how to archive DOS print jobs (for later reprinting)

In the previous video, we've seen how to print an invoice from a DOS program to a PDF file by including different background forms on the different pages via the optional CFG file.

In this video, we'll see how to automatically archive the DOS print jobs with Printfil so that you can see and/or reprint them at a later date.

Preparation:

We've created a new empty folder to be used as an archive
Go to Configuration -> Standard
then Options -> Archiving
Insert the archiving path e click OK

That's all. Now:

Print the DOS invoice to LPT1:
Printfil captures it and you can print it or export it to PDF
but this time it has also been saved in the archive (including the CFG, used to merge the background image)
Now print another DOS report
Once again Printfil captures it
and it has been archived too (without CFG since there's no background)

At a later time:

Right-click the Printfil's trayed icon
Choose Redo Last Print -> Archiving
Select an old print job to reprint
and you can send it even on a different printer / PDF then the one originally used
