DEVICE^TYPE This parameter specifies the device class to which TFORM output is sent.
What to Enter
PARAM DEVICE^TYPE int
int
must be 0, 1, 2, or 3.
How to Use DEVICE^TYPE
This parameter gives you a way to tell TFORM to output the controlling
codes for the letter-quality printer, regardless of where the output is
actually being sent. For example, if you want to send your document to a
Tandem 5530 letter-quality printer, then you enter:
PARAM DEVICE ^^^TYPE 1
If you don’t enter this parameter, TFORM determines the printer class from
the output location specified or implied in the RUN command that initiates
TFORM. If this class does not correspond to a printer, TFORM assumes a
device type of 0.
TFORM recognizes these four classes of devices:
3 = Any printer that recognizes PCL Level III
2 = Any printer that recognizes PCL Level II
1 = Tandem 5530 letter-quality printer
0 = All other Tandem printers
