MULTIPORT SPOOLER VIII (4-, 8-, and 12-Port Models)
Usage Notes
This option is particularly helpful if you use the Print
Screen function. Set the timeout to 1 second and
activate the form feed. A form feed is then generated
after each print screen.
An end-of-job form feed is executed after the
timeout expires.
You can also use form feed to insert a blank page
between user printouts on a continuous-feed printer.
Broadcast
Purpose
Determines whether a user can, with a single
command, send a job to all or several selected output
ports at once.
Applies To
Parallel input ports and serial bidirectional ports
used as input ports.
Possible Values
“Active” or “Inactive.” The default is “Inactive.”
Usage Notes
If you activate
Broadcast
, you must specify the ports
used for broadcast in the
Selected Output
field (see
the description of that field below).
An example application might be a user who
needs to be able to print a document at several
different stations at the same time (to convey
information to people at those stations).
Selected Output
Purpose
Specifies the output port for a Multiport
Spooler VIII input port.
Applies To
Input ports.
Possible Values
The name of any output (or bidirectional) port. You
can also group peripherals together by type and use
a wild-card character (“*” or “?”) to indicate that any
of the peripherals can be used. The default is
PRINTER?, which means the job goes to the first
available output port (PRINTERA, PRINTERB, or
PRINTERC at port 4, 8, or 12 respectively).
