DEV Command
DEVTYPE LU1 and DEVTYPE LU3 control the configuration of a print device
attached to a controller located in an IBM domain. FASTP must be the spooler
print process. DEV PARM form-feed options take precedence over all
DEVTYPE LU1 and LU3 subcommands. If either FASTP is not the current
spooler print process, Spoolcom accepts the DEVTYPE LU1 or LU3
subcommand but the print process ignores it.
DEVTYPE LU1 configures the print device for SNA character string (SCS)
mode.
DEVTYPE LU3 configures the print device for data stream compatibility (DSC)
mode.
DEVTYPE 7, 8, 9, or 10 controls the configuration of a print device for
specific types of printer, identified by the device subtype:

DEVTYPE 7 configures the print device for the 5515, 5516, and 5518
printers.

DEVTYPE 8 configures the print device for the 5573 and 5574 printers.

DEVTYPE 9 configures the print device for the 5512 printer.

DEVTYPE 10 configures the print device for the 5577 printer.
DEVTYPE can also be used to control the configuration of a print device by the
printer product number:

DEVTYPE 5512 configures the print device as the 5512 printer.

DEVTYPE 5515 configures the print device as the 5515 printer.

DEVTYPE 5516 configures the print device as the 5516 printer.

DEVTYPE 5518 configures the print device as the 5518 printer.

DEVTYPE 5573 configures the print device as the 5573 printer.

DEVTYPE 5574 configures the print device as the 5574 printer.

DEVTYPE 5577 configures the print device as the 5577 printer.
$device must be in the offline state (DEV $device, DRAIN) before the
DEVTYPE subcommand is issued.
DRAIN
causes the device to go offline after the job currently printing is finished. If the
device is in an invalid state, Spoolcom resets the invalid state before taking the
device offline.
ENDFF [ ON | OFF ]
specifies whether the spooler print process, FASTP, issues a form feed at the
end of each job.
