STAPLE
The STAPLE parameter may be used if your printer supports stapling.
This parameter may be specified as on or off. Job, file flag, burst, and
trailer pages are not stapled to your data pages if stapling is on. Use
the following command to select stapling:
$ PRINT/QUE=name/PARAMETERS=(STAPLE= selection ) -
_$ filename.ext
» Note: The COLLATE parameter must be specified as on for STAPLE
to work.
Characteristic File
The characteristic file initializes information used by the symbiont
when parsing /PARAMETER qualifiers.
A characteristic file was installed during the VMSINSTAL procedure.
This file has a name in the form:
QMS$
product_name _CHAR.DAT
where
product_name is the name of the product selected during the
installation.
Because multiple QMS printers may be installed on a single VMS
host, a logical is defined which specifies the characteristic file that is
to be used by the queue with which it is associated. This logical takes
the form QMS$
executionqueue_name _CHAR where
executionqueue_name is replaced by the name of the execution
queue. For example, this logical is created by issuing the following
command:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM QMS$MYQUEUE_CHAR -
_$ "QMS$QMS-3825_CHAR.DAT"
Don’t modify the DATA_TYPE qualifier line or emulation selection may
not work correctly when using DATA_TYPE. Other qualifiers, those
occurring left of the first - character on each line, may be modified.
However, don’t modify the DOC which is generated by the associated
