 News From the Lab

Current version 4.6.1 was released on November 13, 2009.
Enhancement List See what is new in the latest version.
Update Instructions Follow these instructions to upgrade your SpoolFlex/FormFlex software.

It is time for everyone to say goodbye to V3 email in SpoolFlex
We have had the new V4 e-mail in SpoolFlex for over 1 ½ years now. There are many enhancements that come along with the V4 e-mail. Making the switch from using V3 e-mail to V4 e-mail within SpoolFlex is very easy.
We will be dropping support for the old V3 e-mail sometime in the first quarter of next year. If you would like assistance in switching over, which only takes a few minutes, please notify our support team and someone would be happy to assist you. If you are currently running SpoolFlex V4.0 dated 06/01/2008 or higher, you have everything you need to switch over to V4 e-mail.
If you are running V4 SpoolFlex you still may be using V3 e-mail and still need to switch over to V4 e-mail. If you are running a SpoolFlex version prior to V4.0, then you will need to update to the latest version of SpoolFlex before switching over to V4 e-mail. Someone from our support team would be happy to assist you with the update process.


 Answers to Your Questions

Q: I have created a form using FormFlex. Can this form be made into a multi-copy form?
A: FormFlex allows you to format a form to be a multi-copy document. In the FormFelx main menu, select option '1=Design Forms'. Find a form and use option '13=Edit Header' to set up the Form Header.

Q: In FormFlex, how do I print a blank form?
A: In the FormFlex main menu, select option '1=Design Forms'. Go to the form header by using option '13=Edit Header' on the form which you want to print. Type '*NONE' in the Output Queue field and press enter. You can then use option '6' to print the form.
