Controlling Locations
Controlling Locations
A location is the logical destination of a job that has been sent to the spooler subsystem.
If a print device is associated with a location, that device becomes the job’s physical
location. Locations are always two-part names taking the form #group.dest, where
#group is a group name, such as #LP, and.dest is a destination name, such
as.LASER.
To control locations in your spooler subsystem:
1. Make sure you are logged on as a super-group user (255,n).
2. List the locations in your spooler subsystem:
> SPOOLCOM LOC
3. Modify your spooler subsystem locations as needed:
•
To assign and connect a location to a print device:
) LOC #group.dest, DEV $device-name
•
To break the connection between a location and any devices with which it is
associated:
) LOC #group.dest, DEV
•
To delete a location from the spooler:
) LOC #group.dest, DELETE
