CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION
8-3
Substitute your actual node name, port name (P1), LAT port and queue
name for the ones in the example. If you are using a service name, specify
/SERVICE= servicenam
e instead of
/PORT=P1
.
✒
Note
Use the default names unless you have specifically changed the names.
✒
Note
Be sure to specify
PROC=LATSYM
or the queue will not service requests
from multiple host computers.
3. Execute the command file you have just created by typing "@" plus the
file name in response to the VMS "$" prompt (for example,
@LATSTART.COM
). For additional convenience, you may want to
include the "
@filename
" command in your system startup file so that
the procedure is executed automatically when the system is booted.
4. Define or modify a form for use with the print server. VMS uses forms
to define the page layout. If you are printing graphics or PostScript jobs,
you must define your form for
NOTRUNCATE
and
NOWRAP
to prevent
printer errors. For example, to redefine the VMS default form
DEFAULT, you would type the following at the "$" prompt:
DEFINE/FORM DEFAULT/NOTRUNCATE/NOWRAP
If you are defining a new form, be sure to specify
STOCK=DEFAULT
(unless you are using a special stock) and initialize the queue with the
DEFAULT=FORM
option. For example, to create a form called PCL for the
queue BRO on LAT port LTA33:, you would type:
DEFINE/FORM PCL/NOTRUNC/NOWRAP/STOCK=DEFAULT
INIT/QUEUE/START/ON=LTA33:/PROC=LATSYM/-
DEFAULT=FORM=PCL BRO
5. You are now ready to print. Use the
command with the name of
the queue and the file you wish to print as shown in the following
example:
PRINT/QUEUE=BRO MYFILE.TXT
If the file does not print, recheck the hardware and software configuration,
and then try printing again. If the file still does not print,
