Command and Utility Summary
spooled to the printer in the number of minutes specified.
The range is 0 (never auto-disconnect) to 1440 minutes; the default is
1 minute.
/R:n
If LAN Manager is loaded in spooling mode, this option (retry) specifies the
number of seconds to wait between printer status checks. If the printer is slow,
this value should be increased.
If LAN Manager Print Station is loaded in non-spooling mode, this option
(retry) instructs the spooler to wait for the specified number of seconds before
failing the print request. Since the nonspooling mode does not maintain a queue,
print jobs that run into a printer error are held until either the error clears or the
retry time (n seconds) passes. After n seconds, the print job will fail. After the
printer error is determined and corrected, the remote user can send the print job
again. It is recommended that /R be set to a small value for the nonspooling
mode, since the remote user’s computer cannot continue any processing until it
receives a response to its network print request.
The range is 1 to 255 seconds; the default is 5.
/B:n
Configures the maximum number of network buffers that LAN Manager Print
Station allocates when it is loaded into memory. Network buffers are used to
build network packets for sending data across the network. Each network buffer
uses 128 bytes of memory. When there are more network buffers, more
information can be sent in each packet, and spool files encounter less competition
for the buffer. This can dramatically affect network performance, so low numbers
of network buffers should be avoided.
The range is 1 to 20 buffers; the default is 5.
/C:n
Specifies the maximum number of remote sessions that can be active at once, that
is, the number of net use connections users can establish with the host
workstation to use LAN Manager Print Station. Each session takes only 24 bytes
of memory.
The range is 1 to 20 sessions; the default is 5.
/E
Enables the host workstation to send messages from the printer to the remote user
who has sent the print job.
