Print device mode
A sequence of print functions (also called printer commands, control
sequences, or escape sequences) that determines the appearance of the
printed file.
A print device mode can define the style, size, boldness, and orientation of
the typeface.
Print device modes are designated using the NetWare Administrator or
PRINTDEF.

Print job
A file stored in a print queue directory waiting to be printed. As soon as a
print server sends a print job to the printer, the print job is deleted from the
queue directory.
Each print job is assigned a filename with a variation of the first four digits
of the print queue directory ID, four more numerals, and a .Q extension.
For example, if the print queue directory is named 4B020057.QDR, the first
print job to enter the empty print queue would be named 024B0001.Q.
If more print jobs entered the print queue before the current print job was
printed, they would be named 024B0002.Q, 024B0003.Q, 024B0004.Q, etc.
