2. The Benefits of e-Forms
Many businesses and organizations use electronic forms (e-forms)
solutions to re-purpose text output into richly formatted documents.
E-Forms are a critical part of infrastructure because they streamline
and organize a number of business processes.
Some examples of e-forms include:
invoices
checks
pick tickets
pack lists
bar-coded documents
and more

3. The Stumbling Block of e-Forms
E-Forms must be printed out for record keeping and other business
purposes. However, using a native spooling system can turn this into a
problematic process.
Once e-form software products create a document, they use the native
print spooling system to deliver the documents to the printers.
When this delivery occurs, these software products lose control of the
document and the print process.
This lack of control may let errors get out-of-hand – a potential disaster for large-
scale printing operations!

5. Print Spoolers and e-Forms
Having the right print spooler software is a critical part of managing your
company printing.
Using just a native print spooler to print your e-forms can lead to problems
such as:
no print confirmation
no way to confirm the number of
pages actually printed is correct
no load balancing solution
no fail-over solution
no automated routing capability
