Table 2-14 Parameters for %Parallel% and %Parallel_Pending%
Key Type Default Description
DelayedOutputClose boolean false Determines how the output channel
is managed after a job completes
execution.
When the value of this parameter is
set to true, an end of file indicator is
not sent until all of the pages of a job
have been printed. The network
channel remains open. Messages
such as printer error messages are
sent to the channel if it is either the
output channel for the job executing,
or the output channel for jobs that
have finished executing but have not
finished printing.
Enabled boolean true Indicates whether data arriving at the
printer should be scheduled for
processing. If the value of this
parameter is true, data is processed.
If the value is false, data is not
processed.
HandShake integer 1 Indicates requirements for special
handshaking on the parallel port. A
value of 0 indicates unidirectional
parallel. A value of 1 indicates that
the handshaking should occur in
accordance with the Hewlett-Packard
Parallel Port Interface Specification,
Revision 0.6.
When this parameter is set to 0,
OutputDevice must be set to ().
Otherwise, a configuration error
will occur.
HasNames boolean false Indicates whether the printer
supports named files. If the printer
is not mounted, or if Type is
/Communications, this value is
false. This value is a read-only
constant.
