Printing Pick Slips in dedicated subsystem, using a data queue and program that runs all day long
We do not yet, but I really think we should investigate this concept. I found these notes in the programmers guides

Printing
If your application requires much printing throughout the day (for example, printing pick slips), printing can be expensive. Order Entry application offers customers their choice of whether they want to print picking slips interactively (by pressing a function key), print in batch by submitting a job for each picking slip, or print in a subsystem. The third option is the best for performance.
