ASSIGN and PARAM Commands
PARAM DEVEXCLUSIVE
The PARAM DEVEXCLUSIVE command specifies the ownership mode of the device.
This configuration parameter applies individually to all interspooler threads. The
command is equivalent to the SPOOLCOM command DEV EXCLUSIVE.
ON
specifies that the print process should not close the device when the printer is not
printing a job.
OFF
specifies that the print process should close the device when no more jobs are
waiting to be printed. The default value is OFF.
OFF!
specifies that the device is to be closed between jobs.
PARAM DEVFIFO
The PARAM DEVFIFO command specifies the algorithm by which jobs are selected for
printing on this device. This configuration parameter applies individually to all
interspooler threads. The command is equivalent to the SPOOLCOM command
DEV FIFO.
ON
specifies first-in, first-out (FIFO) queuing.
OFF
specifies that jobs are not queued in FIFO order but are queued according to an
algorithm that takes into account the relative length of an incoming job and how
long the other jobs have been in the queue. The default value is OFF.
PARAM DEVHEADER
The PARAM DEVHEADER command specifies whether a standard or batch header
page should precede each job. This configuration parameter applies to interspooler
threads controlled by a print process other than FASTP. This parameter is ignored by
the FASTP print process when a controlling job transfers between spoolers. These
jobs are always transferred without additional header or trailer pages.
