Automatic File Selection Mode

Automatic file selection mode works as follows:

Prints spool files that match the printer's current setup first.
If other spool files remain queued, CA Spool halts the printer (that is, sends a "halted-for-setup status" message), and sends a setup message to any CA Spool console and communication interface active for the network group. This setup message typically requests that a new form be loaded into the printer. (Individual sites can customize the system to prevent this.) After the new form is mounted, the printer is readied by issuing the start command (or by the PA1 switch at an SCS printer). CA Spool then prints the spool file.
