HP DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS, Version 2.7 (SPD 44.15.20)

HP DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS, SPD 44.15.20
Version 2.7
• Automatically scaling a page created for one paper
size so that it fits on a different paper size via use of
both the PAGE_SIZE and SHEET_SIZE parameters
on the same print command.
• Printing multiple uncollated copies of each sheet via
the SHEET_COUNT parameter.
• Use of device control modules for all data types via
the /SETUP qualifier. ANSI modules may include
control sequences. PCL modules may include binary
font data.
• Support for OpenVMS autostart queues, simplifying
startup and ensuring high availability of print queues.
ANSI (DEC PPL3) Emulation
Printing of ANSI text and sixel graphics is compatible
with DIGITAL’s ANSI-compliant PPL3 printers.
Note: PostScript printers differ in the amount of virtual
memory they have available for printing and font stor-
age. Files that require downloading of fonts may be
printed differently, may print more slowly or may fail to
print on some printers.
INSTALLATION STATEMENT
HP recommends that a customer’s first purchase of
this software product include HP Installation Services.
These services provide for installation of the software
product by an experienced HP Software Specialist.
For subsequent purchases of this product, only cus-
tomers with knowledge of OpenVMS generic and exe-
cution print queues in clustered and non-clustered envi-
ronments and, if operating in a DECserver environment,
knowledge of DECserver management, should attempt
installation of this software product. HP recommends
that all other customers purchase HP’s Installation Ser-
vices.
These services provide for the installation of the soft-
ware product and HP PostScript Printer hardware by an
experienced HP Specialist.
Before installation of the software by HP Installation Ser-
vices, the customer must:
• Obtain, install and demonstrate as operational any
equipment and facilities necessary to interface to
HP’s communication equipment.
• Make available for a reasonable period of time, as
mutually agreed upon by HP and the customer, all
hardware, communication facilities and terminals that
are to be used during installation.
• For verification of installation and connectivity in a
multi-node node network, designate and provide ac-
cess to a host that has previously been installed by
HP.
• Assure that a valid OpenVMS operating system li-
cense is installed.
Delays caused by any failure to meet these responsibil-
ities will be charged at the then prevailing rate for time
and materials.
Installation of DECprint Supervisor software will consist
of the following:
• Verification that all prerequisite software and hard-
ware has been installed.
• Verification that a complete set of DCPS software
media and documentation has been received.
• Verification that all hardware and software prerequi-
sites have been met and the equipment is opera-
tional.
• Installation of DCPS software on one system.
• Verification that DCPS software has been correctly
installed by running the Installation Verification Pro-
cedure (IVP).
• Modification of the DECnet database or TCP/IP hosts
file to add printer node names and addresses.
• Modification of the OpenVMS start-up files to auto-
mate the start-up of print queues.
