CHAPTER 4: Configuration
Header Option
Purpose
Specifies header text, activates the header (with or
without a form feed) and deactivates the header.
Headers are ideal for identifying users’ print jobs,
or sending printer- or modem-initialization strings.
Applies To
Parallel input ports and serial bidirectional ports.
Possible Values
Refer to the Usage Notes below.
Usage Notes
When you select this option, a window containing a
menu is displayed. Choose from its three alternatives
(listed below), then confirm your selection by
entering X. The value in the port-configuration
screen changes accordingly.
Header Define
: Opens another window, where you
type your header text. Header text can be a single
line of up to 60 characters. All ASCII characters are
allowed.
Header Activation
: Activates the header. If you have
not defined a header, the default header is used.
This is PORT#
, where
is the number associated
with the input port being configured
(1 to 12). An active header is printed at the
beginning of print jobs (with or without an
automatic form feed) until you deactivate it.
Header Deactivation
: Deactivates the header.
NOTE
You can use headers to specify things other
than text. For example, you can use a header
in place of the token (see
Section 7.3.3
) when
a command is to be applied to the second of
two daisychained Multiport Spooler VIII units
(see
Section 7.4
). For example, if the header is
@@/P4@
, the first MPS-VIII that receives a job
forwards this header through its output port to
the second MPS-VIII, which then interprets the
header as the
/P4
command.
