SET/DEFINE/CHANGE Commands
AUTOCR
Automatically inserts a carriage return. When you enable this option, the access
server inserts a carriage return after each line feed character if there is no existing
carriage return. The AUTOCR option applies only to ASCII text files.
CONNECTIONS
Specifies whether a user can queue a print job to the printer. If disabled, the user
cannot access the printer. Disabling the printer temporarily is useful when you
need to perform routine maintenance tasks (for example, adding paper or
changing a form).
TYPE
Specifies the type of files a printer can print, specifically with respect to the header
and trailer pages. The default is ASCII. If your printer can print both ASCII and
PostScript files, this can be set to either value. Printers supporting other file
formats must use a printer driver on the host system that supports the specific
formats. The access server LPD implementation does not perform any file format
translation.
FLAGPAGE [NOTE]
Specifies a message that prints on the generated flag page that precedes output to
the printer. The text string can be a maximum of characters.
HEADER
Specifies whether a header page prints before the actual data from the print job. If
enabled, the header page always prints. If disabled, the header page never prints.
If you specify OPTIONAL, the header page prints only if the access server
receives user name information before it starts printing data. Depending on the
order in which the access server receives control and data files, it may not know
the user name before it starts the print job.
IDENTIFICATION
Specifies a text string that identifies the printer. The text string can be a maximum
of 40 characters.
PORTS
Specifies one or more physical ports that can accept LPD print requests for the
printer. The access server assumes that printers are connected to the specified
ports.
TRAILER
Specifies whether to print a trailer page at the end of the print job. If enabled, a
trailer page always prints. If disabled, a trailer page never prints. If you specify
OPTIONAL, the trailer page prints only if the access server did not receive user
name information at the start of the print job.
