Configuring a FASTP Network Print Process in the
Spooler Subsystem
LUTOFVALUE Sets the sequence that designates the top-of-form (new page) that
the print process is to use for LU1 and LU3 type printers only. In most
cases, the effect of LUTOFVALUE is the same as that of any other
Spooler printer, however support for LUTOFVALUE can vary based
on the specific FASTP network print process being implemented. See
the product-specific sections of this manual for exceptions.
PARM Specifies device parameters that are p
assed to the print process. For
descriptions of the PARM bits that can be specified for any FASTP
network print process and how the value is determined, see
Defining
the Spooler DEV PARM Attribute on page 2-11 and Calculating the
Value of the PARM Attributes on page 2-13.
Also note the following:
•
While in most cases, the bits supported and their meanings are
the same for all the FASTP network print processes, support can
vary based on the specific FASTP network print process being
implemented. See the product-specific sections of this manual for
exceptions.
•
With one exception, at a minimum, bit 5 (%2000) should always
be set to force the FASTP network print process to read the
FASTCNFG file. For FASTPTCP only, beginning with the G06.10
and D48.02 RVUs, this bit is no longer required and the
FASTCNFG/FASTKCON files are always read.
PREXLATE Specifies postspacing (vertical space after printing a line) as the
def
ault vertical spacing mode. Applies only to printers connected
through the Universal Interface controller (subtypes 1, 5, and 7). In
most cases, the effect of PREXLATE is the same as that of any other
Spooler printer, however support for PREXLATE can vary based on
the specific FASTP network print process being implemented. See
the product-specific sections of this manual for exceptions.
PROCESS Specifies the FASTP network print process associated with the printer
represented by the device name.
The effect of PROCESS is the
same as that of any other Spooler printer.
RESTART Specifies whether the supervisor process should attempt to restart a
device af
ter the device has been placed offline because of a
nonretryable I/O error. In most cases, the effect of RESTART is the
same as that of any other Spooler printer, however support for
RESTART can vary based on the specific FASTP network print
process being implemented. See the product-specific sections of this
manual for exceptions.
RETRY
Specifies the number of seconds a print process waits before retrying
an I/O operation that has failed because of a retryable I/O error. The
effect of RETRY is the same as that of any other Spooler printer.
