<LS>&SYS_ADMIN&</>
This node collects monitoring information about processing of requests
on front-end output devices. Front-end printing means printing on an
output device the user defined at the operating system level.
In the SAP system, an output device with access method 'F' (front-end
printing) must exist, which then sends the output requests to the user's
default printer.
STYLE S_DOCUS1
To classify the output requests, we recommend you assign classes to both
the spool servers and output devices. By using spool servers configured
for different types and priorities, you can better control output
requests.
