Supported Printers
SUPPORTED PRINTERS
ATP6100/CSSPRINT and SERIALPRINTPROCESS support the following
printers:
• 5508 matrix printer, device type 5, subtype 3
|
| • 5512 matrix printer, device type 5, subtype 9
|
| • 5515/5516 matrix printers, device type 5, subtype 7
• 5520 matrix printer, device type 5, subtype 4
• 5530 daisy wheel character printer, device type 5, subtype 6
• 5540/1 and DTR-type printers (not necessarily Tandem
printers), device type 5, subtype 32
|
| • 5573 laser printer, device type 5, subtype 8
|
|
| NOTE
|
| Only SERIALPRINTPROCESS supports 5508 printers and only
| ATP6100 supports 5573 printers. In addition,
| SERIALPRINTPROCESS supports 5512 printers only if the
| printer is defined as SERIAL5515 at system generation.
PRINTER CHARACTERISTICS
Serial printer devices are configured and installed in the same
way as other devices. Initial device characteristics are defined
| at system generation time. For a list of the default settings
| associated with each of the supported printers, see Appendix E.
|
| You can dynamically change ATP6100/CSSPRINT and
| SERIALPRINTPROCESS device characteristics and functions with the
| CONTROL, CONTROLBUF, and SETMODE procedure calls. In addition,
| you can change ATP6100/CSSPRINT device characteristics through
| the Communications Management Interface (CMI). However, there
| are limitations when changing printer characteristics with CMI
| for subdevices controlled by a 3681 controller; see Appendix F
| for details.
ATP6100/CSSPRINT and SERIALPRINTPROCESS support terminals with
the characteristics described below. Refer to the GUARDIAN
Operating System Programmer’s Guide for more information.
