The following table lists the print characteristics that you can configure:
Setting Port Characteristics
For LPD to communicate with your printers, you must set the following port
characteristics:
• ACCESS REMOTE
• AUTOBAUD DISABLED
• FLOW CONTROL, PARITY, SPEED and STOP BITS to match the printer’s
settings
Use the DEFINE/SET/CHANGE PORT command to configure port
characteristics.
Characteristic Description
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 a printer. You
use this option to disable access to a printer temporarily for
reasons such as routine maintenance or adding paper.
FLAGPAGE Specifies a message that prints on the flag page that prints
before the file data.
HEADER Specifies whether a header page prints before the file data. You
can set this option so that no header page prints if the access
server does not know the user name at the start of the print job
(for example, if the access server receives the data file before it
receives the control file).
IDENTIFICATION Specifies a text string (40 characters or less) that is associated
with a printer.
TRAILER Enables or disables printing of a trailer page after file data
prints. You can set this option so that no trailer page prints if
the access server does not know the user name at the start of
the print job (for example, if the access server receives the data
file before it receives the control file).
TYPE Specifies ASCII or PostScript. Use this option to determine the
kind of flag page or pages to send to the printer.
