MULTIPORT SPOOLER VIII (4-, 8-, and 12-Port Models)
Pause
Purpose
Sets a pause for all jobs transmitted to the Multiport
Spooler VIII through the selected port. The MPS-
VIII will receive user jobs intact, but will not send
them to the selected port until the user releases
the paused jobs.
Applies To
Parallel input ports and serial bidirectional ports
used as input ports.
Possible Values
“Active” or “Inactive.” The default is “Inactive.”
Usage Notes
Setting a pause allows the user transmitting to the
Multiport Spooler VIII to refill a paper tray or
change plotter pens before the MPS-VIII processes
that job to an output port (and the attached
peripheral).
If the MPS-VIII’s buffer is full when a new job is
received, the first paused job in the queue is
automatically released to the peripheral. The pause
stays active.
When a pause is active, you must use the Release
Pause command to release a paused job. Refer to
Section 7.3.2
or the entry for the
/A
command in
Appendix D
for details.
Allocated Memory
Purpose
Sets aside a block of memory exclusively for the user
linked to the selected Multiport Spooler VIII port.
The allocated memory is never available to other
users.
Applies To
Parallel input ports and serial bidirectional ports
used as input ports.
Possible Values
Depend on how much memory your Multiport
Spooler VIII has (refer to the table below). The
default is 0 (zero).
