ASSIGN and PARAM Commands
At the target node, the print process can choose to add these header or trailer pages
according to settings configured for the real device. The PARAM DEVHEADER
command is equivalent to the SPOOLCOM command DEV HEADER.
ON
specifies that a header page should print at the beginning of every job.
OFF
Specifies that header pages are not to be printed at the beginning of jobs. The
default value is OFF.
BATCH
specifies that two header pages and three trailer pages (also containing job
information) print for every job. This enables jobs printed on accordion-fold paper
to have a header page appearing on top regardless of whether the job begins on
an odd or even page. Printing over the page folds on the trailer pages enables
jobs to be easily separated from each other.
PARAM DEVPARM
The PARAM DEVPARM command specifies a device parameter that is passed to the
print process controlling this device whenever the supervisor communicates with the
print process. This configuration parameter applies individually to all interspooler
threads. The command is equivalent to the SPOOLCOM command DEV PARM.
parameter
is a number that can be represented in 16 bits. The range for parameter is
-32768 through +32767. The default value is 0, which specifies that the print
process retain the source job location and job ownership when the job is copied to
the target spooler. Other default attributes are described in Table 5-2.
The default value of PARM DEVPARM is set for the FASTP print process. If you use
another print process, you must ensure that the value is appropriate for that print
process.
This parameter allows you to control operations performed by the print process when
transferring print jobs from the local (source) spooler to a remote (target) spooler.
Some job attributes that FASTP sets for a print job delivered to a target spooler are
listed in Table 5-2 together with the bit values to change the operation.
