JOBSTRT
Prepare the printer to receive a new print job. This PFS is sent to the printer when the System declares that a new print job is about to start (upon receipt of an SCS Set Initial Conditions command). Some of the potential uses for this PFS are:
1)Declare a new print job at the printer to allow job offsetting, spooling and/or duplexing to occur properly.
2)Set default formatting settings at the printer.
3)Perform a form feed to cause a blank page between jobs.
JOBEND
This PFS is not normally used. It is triggered at the end of a print job from the System. The user may define this in any appropriate way.
TIMEOUT
This PFS is sent to the printer before switching hosts after the timeout period defined in the configuration of the current input port. This is not the result of a System request. It is intended primarily so users can define a cleanup procedure to be executed before switching hosts (e.g., send a form feed to the printer).
