Output Controller 

Use

The SAP System has an output controller in which you can check your spool requests and output requests. Call the output controller in the following cases:

·        You have sent a print request, but did not select Print Out Immediately.

In this case, the system creates a spool request and stores it temporarily. It only sends an output request to the printer when you release the spool request for printing from the output controller.

·        You want to check whether your output request has already been printed or not.

Activities

You can use the output controller for more than just checking the status of an output request. You can also:

·        Choose Print to send spool requests to an output device.

·        Choose Delete to delete requests that you no longer require. Obsolete requests are usually deleted automatically.

·        Choose Display to display the contents of your output request in the form in which it will later be output on paper.
