Procedure: Storing formsets on a USB flash drive


NOTE:
This function is very similar to downloading formsets to a printer.

To do this:

  1. Create form in Forms Composer and Save it.

  2. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer where Forms Composer resides.

  3. Open Forms Manager.

  4. Choose Formsset > Forms Card Export To. Click here for illustration.

  5. Select the formset (fdd) and/or subform (sdd). Click here for illustration

  6. Choose the USB drive letter as the destination for the forms. Click here for illustration.

  7. Exit Forms Manager.

  8. Remove the USB flash drive from the Windows workstation.

  9. Insert the USB flash drive in the printer’s "Direct" USB port. (The printer will instantly catalog all activation conditions and formsets.)

  10. Send the print job to the printer. (The printer will receive the job, activate the formset on the USB drive, perform the merge and route the resulting PDF appropriately.)

  11. Remove the USB flash drive after job completion, and store the USB flash drive in a secure enviornment.
