Considerations
Considerations
The following considerations apply to the use of the PRINTINFO procedure:

PRINTINFO should not be used by a perusal process. A print process operates
with, and under the control of, the supervisor, while a perusal process operates on
its own.

PRINTINFO is used by a print process (the PRINTSTART or PRINTREAD
procedure) to respond to a status request from the supervisor.

The lines-printed parameter is not always an indication of how many lines
remain to be printed on a job, because it includes lines that are printed more than
once as a result of a page-skip action.
