What is an OPO Printout?

An OPO printout is the output of a Windows application which has been sent to Entire Output Management via the Open Print Option (OPO) and has been queued for printing.

The OPO Print Queue

The OPO print queue is displayed when you start OPO. From here, you invoke all OPO functions available for the handling of OPO printouts.

The print queue lists all printouts which you have sent to be printed, but which have not yet been printed.

For each printout, the following information is displayed:

Field Explanation

Print ID An internal ID uniquely identifying the printout.
Status The status of the printout.

  • Source is your PC name. If you are logged on to a domain, it is the domain name.

  • Sender is your user ID.

Lines The number of lines to be printed (for text documents only).
Kbytes The size of the printout in KB (for binary printouts only).
Sent The date and time when the printout was sent to Entire Output Management.
