Jobs
LOC, you can set the broadcast mode attribute for the group to print a job at every
device associated with the group (BROADCAST ON) or only at the device that would
finish the job first (BROADCAST OFF).
Devices can have any number of locations connected to them, but each location can
have only one device connected to it. A group can have several devices associated
with it. Each device must be connected to a different destination contained in the
group. Make these connections in any order that best suits the particular needs of
your system.
Jobs
The term job refers to the data written by an application process to a collector.
Job Attributes
A set of attributes is specified for each job when the job is created (that is, when it
enters the open state). These attributes can be changed with the Spoolcom JOB
command. Table 1-7 lists the default attributes of jobs and the Spoolcom JOB
subcommands used to specify them.
