DEV Command
ENDFF or ENDFF ON specifies that the print process will issue a form feed or
other command to the printer to advance to a new page at the end of each job.
The command varies depending on the printer type. For printers that can
recognize the conditional operation, this advance is conditional so that extra
blank pages do not occur if the printer is already at top-of-form when the job
ends. For cut-sheet printers such as the 5573, 5574, and 5575, this advance
ejects the last printed page.
ENDFF OFF specifies that the print process will not issue a form feed at the
end of each job. This is the default device configuration value if you do not
specify the ENDFF subcommand.
See Considerations on page 4-33 for more information about using ENDFF
with FASTP.
EXCLUSIVE [ ON | OFF [ ! ] ]
specifies the ownership mode of the device.
EXCLUSIVE or EXCLUSIVE ON specifies that the print process should not
close the device when the printer is not printing a job.
EXCLUSIVE OFF (the default value) specifies that the print process should
close the device when no more jobs are waiting to be printed.
EXCLUSIVE OFF ! specifies that the device is to be closed between jobs.
FIFO [ ON | OFF ]
specifies the algorithm by which jobs are selected for printing on the device.
If FIFO or FIFO ON is specified, first-in, first-out (FIFO) queuing is selected.
FIFO OFF (the default algorithm) specifies that jobs are not queued first in, first
out, but rather 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.
A description of the queuing algorithm appears in the Guardian User’s Guide.
FORM [ form-name ]
specifies a form name for the device. The name is composed of as many as
16 letters, numbers, or blanks. If FORM is present but form-name is omitted,
a blank form name is assigned.
The default name is a blank form name.
HEADER [ ON | OFF | BATCH ]
specifies whether a standard or batch header page should precede each job.
The ON, OFF, and BATCH options are supported by the FASTP print
processes.
