Configuration Utility - Override Table tab

The Barr document attribute override table automatically sets file attributes for spool files and is especially useful for unattended print spool operation. As files write to the spool directory The directory where files are queued while they wait for printing or routing from the Barr print spool., entries in the override table can automatically set or override file attributes. The software updates the attribute values in the file’s spool header, displays them in the Spool Window, and uses them when the files print. You can set attributes for individual files, groups of files, or all files. You can access this tab from the Configuration Utility.

To view this tab, you must have the appropriate user access rights.

Changes will not take effect until the SpoolCore service is restarted. Depending on the nature of the changes, there can be a 20-second delay when restarting the service.
