Technical data

• Output speed: 9600 baud

The summary sheet and the terminal settings should be the same.

If your printer interface runs at a different speed, make sure you set the same

conﬁguration switch settings and device characteristics.

If the printer is connected directly to the host, check the baud rate setting in

the printer startup command ﬁle. If you did not enter a baud rate in parameter

p6 of the execution queue deﬁnition, the startup procedure sets the printer

speed at 9600 baud. Refer to the SET TERMINAL command in the OpenVMS

DCL Dictionary for information on changing the system’s interpretation of the

device characteristics.

If your printer is connected by a LAT device to a local area Ethernet, see

Section 11.1.3.

If the settings agree and the job still does not print, go to step 3.

Step 3: Check communications software

Test the operation of the communications equipment by attempting to send

data directly to the device. To perform this procedure, make sure the queue is

paused (see Section 5.7).

The device must not be spooled to accomplish this procedure. If the device is

spooled, enter the following command:

$ SET DEVICE LTAnnnn:/NOSPOOL

To test the communications setup, issue the SET HOST/DTE command to the

printer. Use the commands in the following examples:

$ SET HOST/DTE LTA9092:

Connection established, type ^\ to exit

Ctrl/T

%%[ status: idle ]%%

After you press Ctrl/T, you should receive a message in the form of

%%[Status: description]%%. If you receive this message, the connection to the

printer is established and working.

If no message of this type is displayed, enter the commands in the following

example:

$ COPY TT: LTA9092:

showpage

Ctrl/Z
