Print Device Attributes
HEADER [ ON | OFF | BATCH ] Specifies whether a standard or batch header page
appears at the beginning of every job. HEADER or
HEADER ON (the default) specifies that a standard
header page prints at the beginning of every job. The
standard header contains the job report name, location,
and job number. HEADER BATCH specifies that two
header pages and three trailer pages print for every job.
The PSPOOL and FASTP print processes support the
BATCH option; PSPOOLB does not support BATCH.
LUEOLVALUE [ NL | CRLF ] Sets the end-of-line (EOL) sequence that the FASTP
print process places at the end of a print record for LU1
and LU3 type printers only.
LUEOLWHEN [ LT132 |
LTWIDTH | ALWAYS |
NEVER ]
Indicates when the FASTP print process is to place an
end-of-line (EOL) sequence at the end of a print record
for LU1 and LU3 type printers.
LUTOFVALUE [ CRFFCR |
FFCR | FF | NEVER ]
Sets the sequence that designates top of form (new page)
that the FASTP print process is to use for a print record
for LU1 and LU3 type printers.
PARM parameter Specifies a device parameter passed to the print process
controlling this device whenever the supervisor
communicates with the print process. The range is -
32768 through +32767. The default is 0, which specifies
default values for parameters. PARM applies to a
PSPOOLB or FASTP print process; it has no meaning
for PSPOOL. For details, see the Spooler Utilities
Reference Manual.
PROCESS $process-name Specifies the print process that controls the device. You
must specify a print process; there is no default process.
RESTART [ OFF | interval |
ON ]
RESTART or RESTART ON specifies the number of
seconds the device waits between automatic restart
attempts. The default value is OFF, meaning that device
restarts are not attempted.
RETRY interval Specifies the number of seconds the print process waits
before retrying a failed retryable write to the device. The
default value is 5 seconds.
SPEED lines-per-min A value used by the supervisor to calculate how long
jobs take to print on the device. This attribute is used
only for queuing jobs; it has no effect on the device
printing speed. The default is 100 lines per minute.
STARTFF [ ON | OFF [!] ] STARTFF or STARTFF ON causes the PSPOOL and
FASTP print processes to issue a form feed at the
beginning of a job. STARTFF OFF, the default value,
and STARTFF OFF ! cause these print processes to
suppress a form feed at the start of each job. STARTFF
has no meaning for PSPOOLB.
