CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION
9-5
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 BRN on LAT port LTA33:, you would type:
DEFINE/FORM PCL/NOTRUNC/NOWRAP/STOCK=DEFAULT
INIT/QUEUE/START/ON=LTA33:/PROC=LATSYM/-
DEFAULT=FORM=PCL BRN
5.
You are now ready to print. Use the PRINT command with the name of the
queue and the file you wish to print as shown in the following example:
PRINT/QUEUE=BRN 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, refer to the Troubleshooting portion
of this userguide for further assistance.
