	Application programs utilize a '''printer file''', ~~which~~ can be custom or the generic, IBM delivered ''QSYSPRT''. Printer files define basic attributes for the print data to be generated, like format, rows and columns, page rotation and other stuff. Have a look at <code>chgprtf qsysprt</code>.

	Print output data, when already generated by the application program by writing to the '''printer file''' is called '''spooled output''' or sometimes '''spooled file'''. This data is sitting in an OS object called '''OUTQ'''. A '''printer writer''' picks up the data and sends it to the printer according to the configuration of the OUTQ object.
