DEV Command
The STARTFF subcommand suppresses inserting a blank page between jobs
unless HEADER ON or HEADER BATCH is configured. Other subcommands
affect inserting a blank page. To ensure that FASTP does not issue form feeds
between jobs, so that you can print multiple jobs per page, you should have these
subcommands configured as follows:
STARTFF OFF
ENDFF OFF
DEVRESET OFF
EXCLUSIVE ON
If you are configuring a laser printer run by the FASTP print process, set ENDFF
ON to ensure that a form feed is issued at the end of a print job.
Do not configure a printer with DEV EXCLUSIVE OFF! if it is associated with
locations that are configured with font jobs to affect the printing of a subsequent
print job. The EXCLUSIVE OFF! attribute causes the device to be closed and
opened between printing the font job and printing the subsequent print job, thereby
terminating the effects of the font job. Configure a device in this situation with
either EXCLUSIVE ON or EXCLUSIVE OFF.
The DEV subcommands supported by FASTP—the HP print process—are as
follows:
ALIGN LUTOFVALUE
CHARMAP PARM
CLEAR PREXLATE
DEVRESET SKIP
DEVTYPE SKIPTO
ENDFF STARTFF
HEADER TRUNC
LUEOLVALUE WIDTH
LUEOLWHEN
Note. The following DEV subcommands are not listed above because they either support
device status or provide attributes that have no dependencies on an associated print process:
DELETE, DRAIN, EXCLUSIVE, FIFO, FORM, JOB, PROCESS, RESTART, RETRY, SPEED,
START, SUSPEND, TIMEOUT, and XREF.
