17.2.3 Fixed Problems Printing VFC Files
Printing a VFC-formatted file with a print file carriage control code of hex 8C
now works correctly.
DCPS does not support printing VFC-formatted and other files whose
organization is RELATIVE or INDEXED. DCPS now detects this condition
and returns a file error message.
17.2.4 Increased Range of PAGE_LIMIT to 999999
The prior limit for either starting or ending page was 9999. It is now 999999.
17.2.5 Fixed Abort when All Message Fields Disabled
DCPS will no longer terminate with the %STR-F-STRTOOLON message if
job controller is started with all message content disabled using the following
command:
$ SET MESSAGE/NOTEXT/NOFACILITY/NOIDENT/NOSEVERITY
17.2.6 Fixed ANSI Jobs with ‘‘Sinking Accented Capital Letters’’
The error with the ANSI data type in which accented capital letters such as Á
and É would print lower than surrounding characters on some types of printers
has been fixed.
17.2.7 Library Search List Correctly Searched
With DCPS V1.0, if you defined the SYS$LIBRARY logical name to be a search
list, the DECprint Supervisor software failed to find site-specific device control
libraries placed in site-specific library directories.
DCPS V1.1 corrects this problem. The supervisor correctly searches all directory
elements of the SYS$LIBRARY logical name for specified device control libraries.
17.2.8 Empty Setup Module No Longer Hangs Supervisor
DCPS V1.0 queues would stall and the supervisor would hang in an infinite
compute loop if it was instructed to load a setup module with no contents. The
DCPS V1.1 supervisor does not exhibit this behavior.
17.2.9 Corrected PostScript Handling in Layup
DCPS now correctly handles idtransform and setpagedevice commands in the
layup facility.
17.2.10 LCIT Keyword Now Recognized for PrintServer 17
You can now use the INPUT_TRAY=LCIT parameter to select the large capacity
input tray on the PrintServer 17 printer.
17.2.11 Fixed OUTPUT_TRAY=SIDE for PrintServer 17
The parameter OUTPUT_TRAY=SIDE now selects the lower tray for all members
of the PrintServer family.
17.2.12 Fixed Delay for Manual Feed with Apple and HP Printers
New code activates a delay for insertion of paper into manual feed slot with HP
LaserJet III, IIID and IIISi and supported Apple LaserWriter printers.
