CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION

9-5

Execute the command file you have just created by typing "@" plus the file

name in response to the VMS "$" prompt (for example,

@LATSTART.COM). For additional convenience, you may want to include

the "@filename" command in your system startup file so that the procedure

is executed automatically when the system is booted.

Define or modify a form for use with the print server. VMS uses forms to

define the page layout. If you are printing graphics or PostScript jobs, you

must define your form for NOTRUNCATE and NOWRAP to prevent

printer errors. For example, to redefine the VMS default form DEFAULT,

you would type the following at the "$" prompt:

DEFINE/FORM DEFAULT/NOTRUNCATE/NOWRAP

If you are defining a new form, be sure to specify STOCK=DEFAULT

(unless you are using a special stock) and initialize the queue with the

DEFAULT=FORM option. For example, to create a form called PCL for the

queue BRN on LAT port LTA33:, you would type:

DEFINE/FORM PCL/NOTRUNC/NOWRAP/STOCK=DEFAULT

INIT/QUEUE/START/ON=LTA33:/PROC=LATSYM/-

DEFAULT=FORM=PCL BRN

You are now ready to print. Use the PRINT command with the name of the

queue and the file you wish to print as shown in the following example:

PRINT/QUEUE=BRN MYFILE.TXT

If the file does not print, recheck the hardware and software configuration, and then

try printing again. If the file still does not print, refer to the Troubleshooting portion

of this userguide for further assistance.
