Printing to a Service LAT Host Setup

8.2 Printing to a Service
Printing using a LAT service requires the creation of three items:
• A LAT service on the RapidPrint 500
• A LAT device (application port) that references the print resource
• A print queue that uses the LAT application port
Set up the print service on the RapidPrint 500 as shown in the example below. See Creating Services
for an explanation of the RapidPrint 500 commands used to complete this task.
Figure 8-4: Sample Commands For Service
A LAT application port can then be created. For example, if you want to create a new LAT device
LTA1234 that accesses print service printer1 on the RapidPrint 500 named server1 using VMS
queue remote_prq, enter the commands in
Figure 8-5 .
Figure 8-5: Creating LAT Device
The RapidPrint 500 name must match the name in the /Node field in the LATCP Set Port com-
mand above. The service names specified must also match. In addition, you may want to use the
following commands on the RapidPrint 500 to set up terminal characteristics for the print device.
Figure 8-6: Setting Up Terminal Characteristics
When the configuration is complete, create and start a VMS queue.
Figure 8-7: Creating and Starting VMS Queue
A print request might look like the following:
