Table 3-2. Spooler Device Attributes With Special Effects on FASTPTCP Printers

Attribute Effect on TCP/IP Printers

DEVTYPE By default FASTPTCP assumes all TCP/IP printers to be line-mode

ASCII devices. DEVTYPE defines the real nature of the device. For

examp

le, LU1 specifies a simple block-mode device, LU3 specifies

data stream compatibility (DSC), and 7 specifies a PCL Level II

device, such as 5516.

It is more efficient to run devices in block mode; therefore, when the

device is not specifically d

efined in Spoolcom, you should attempt to

use LU1 to specify simple block-mode operation. The DEVTYPEs

specifically defined are for 5512, 5515, 5516, 5518, 5573, 5574, and

5577 printers.

The device capabilities can be furth

er described by the PROTOCOL

and BLOCK attributes in the FASTCNFG DEVICE entry.

In general, always set this field

for TCP/IP connected printers.

PARM For PROTOCOL values of HPJETDIRECT, bit 2 (%20000) can be

set to cause all SNMP responses to

be logged to $0. Setting this bit

can be useful during printer configuration. A maximum of one

message is logged every ten minutes during a single print job.

Beginning with the G06.10 and D48.02 RVUs, bit 5 (%2000) is no

nger required and the FASTCNFG/FASTKCON files are always

read.

For 5573, 5573D, 5574, and 5577 printers, set bit 9 (%100) if

ndscape header pages are required.

For 5577 printers, set bit 9 (%100) for offset job output.
