Table 4-7. DEV STATUS Display Entries (page 1 of 2)
Entry Description
DEVICE
Is the name of the device whose status is being displayed.
STATE
Is the state of the device. STATE can be one of the following:
BUSY The device is currently printing a job.
WAITING The device is idle, waiting to print. Either there are no
jobs in the device queue or no job in the queue has a
form name that matches the form currently on the
device.
OFFLINE The device is not accepting new jobs for printing. The
Spoolcom DEV, DRAIN command causes the device
to go into an offline state after the job currently printing
is finished. Device attributes can be changed only
when the device is in the offline state.
SUSPENDED The device has stopped all activity as the result of the
Spoolcom DEV, SUSPEND command. If the device
was printing a job when it was suspended, the same
job will resume printing when the device is restarted.
PROC ERROR The supervisor has determined that the print process
is not working correctly and has written a message to
the error log file. The device is unusable until the print
process is restarted. Enter a Spoolcom PRINT
command to obtain status of the PRINT process; see
PRINT STATUS Display
on page 4-67.
ERROR %nnn A file-system error occurred on the device while a job
was printing. File-system errors are described in the
Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.
JOB nnn If nnn is 0 or greater, job nnn is printing on the device
(job 0 is an alignment template). If nnn is -1, the
device is in transition between printing a job and the
waiting state.
FLAGS Is any or all of the following flags:
H Header on
F FIFO on
E Exclusive on
