Verifying the Printer and Host Connections
3
VMS
To print the Phaser 480 in the VMS environment, you must have the symbiont
PhaserSym running on the host. To print to the printer from the host, you must
first have the printer’s queue established. This is site-dependent and requires
the aid of the site’s network administrator. Once the queue is in place you can
proceed to the next step.
1.
To verify the host-to-Phaser 480 (VMS host) connection, use the NCP
LOOP CIRCUIT
command from the host.
2.
From the host, issue the SHOW QUEUE /full command to list all the
available printer queues. Ensure the Phaser 480’s queue is listed.
3.
Print to the printer by sending this command:
print/queue=
<queue name> <file.nam>
where <queue name> is the Phaser 480 queue and <file.nam> is any
PostScript file.
