Technical data

This qualifier allows you to include a default form definition assumed
to be mounted on the printer. The default form for ANSI jobs
only is DCPS$DEFAULT. If you include a form definition with the
/FORM_MOUNTED qualifier, specify the same form definition in the
/DEFAULT qualifier as well.
• /DEFAULT=(NOFEED)
The /DEFAULT qualifier specifies default PRINT qualifiers. The standard
queue definition specifies a default setting of NOFEED on print jobs.
You can modify this command line to include any PRINT qualifiers. For
example, you can include your own form to be applied to print jobs when a
form definition is required:
/DEFAULT=(FORM=MYFORM,NOFEED)
If you specify the /DEFAULT qualifier, be sure to include the FORM
and NOFEED keywords. If they are not included, the values revert to
the OpenVMS defaults, which are not compatible with the DECprint
Supervisor software.
Note
If you include more than one qualifier in the queue definition, enclose
the values in quotation marks.
3.3.6 Setting the Speed for Serial Printers (P6)
You can set the communications speed for serial printers attached directly to
your OpenVMS system. If this parameter is blank, the default is 9600 baud.
To change the speed, replace the null string (‘‘’’) with a value, such as ‘‘19200’’.
For printers that utilize network connections, this parameter is ignored.
3.3.7 Supplying SET DEVICE Qualifiers to the Queue (P7)
You can specify the SET DEVICE command qualifiers for this queue. For
example, to enable error logging, include the following string:
"/ERROR_LOGGING"
Now, all error messages reported by the printer are recorded in the error
log file, SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS. You can read this file using the
ANALYZE/ERROR command.
This parameter is valid for serial printers only.
