Technical data

To submit the file for printing as a PostScript job, use the following command:
$ PRINT/QUEUE=queuename/PARAMETER=(DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT) LPS$SET_TIMEOUT.PS
When the print job is processed, a page is printed to indicate that the timeout
was successfully changed.
2.1.3.3 Changing the Printer Password
PostScript printers have passwords that restrict access to certain functions.
You can change the password for your printer from the default value. For serial
printers, submit a print job that includes the current password as well as the
new password. Refer to the PostScript Printers Programmer’s Supplement for
information about changing your printer’s password.
The default password for ScriptPrinters is (LN03R), with the parentheses
required. The default password for DEClaser printers is 0 (the number zero),
without parentheses. If you change the printer password from the default,
print jobs may take longer to print, because the printer password is required to
persistently load PostScript prologues for ANSI files and separation pages.
2.1.3.4 Setting the Printer Name
Some system messages include the printer name. If you have not set a unique
printer name, these messages contain the default printer name. The default
printer name for a ScriptPrinter printer is LN03R. The default printer name
for a DEClaser printer is DEClaser. For example, on a DEClaser printer where
the name has not been changed, the following message reflects the default
printer name:
%DCPS-I-TRAYSUBST, Output will be delivered to the only tray on DEClaser
If you change the DEClaser printer name to SNUFFY, the same error message
reflects the unique new printer name:
%DCPS-I-TRAYSUBST, Output will be delivered to the only tray on SNUFFY
For non-PrintServer printers, the printer name is stored in the printer’s
nonvolatile memory. To set the printer name, edit a copy of the file
LPS$SET_PRINTER_NAME.PS found in
SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS] to include the desired name and
password. Select a printer name of 31 characters or less.
Then submit the file for printing as a PostScript job:
$ PRINT/QUEUE=queuename /PARAMETER=(DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT) -
LPS$SET_PRINTER_NAME.PS
Edit and submit a copy of LPS$SET_PRINTER_NAME.PS for each printer
that requires a unique name.
