CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION
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.
