Command List III
Commands DATA thru EXIT
where there is no MARGIN record in the VFC file.
When a particular print job has requirements for forms and/or a VFC file, the user
indicates this need by way of a FORMS message. Refer to "Examples."
CAUTION Do not issue a DOWNLOAD command to an HP 2608S while a spoolfile is
ACTIVE. This makes the device UNAVAILABLE, and it remains so until the
system is restarted with a START RECOVERY.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break
has no effect on this command. It may be issued only from the console unless distributed to
users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE command.
Examples
To respond to a forms message such as the following:
IO/15:46/22/FORMS: PLEASE MOUNT PAYCHECK FORMS. USE VFC=VFCPAY
IO/15:46/22/SP#11/LDEV# FOR #S93;OUTFILE ON HP 2608 (1)
enter:
DOWNLOAD 11,VFCPAY
To reset the VFC to its original state, you must reference a file that contains default
specifications (such as VFC6 in this example) by entering:
DOWNLOAD 11,VFC6.PUB.SYS
To set the left margin print position to column 4 (the installation defined default) enter:
DOWNLOAD 11,MARGIN=4
