CONTYPE | = | TCP/IP |
PROTOCOL | = | MICROPLEX |
ADDRESS | = | <IP ADDRESS> |
QUEUENAME | = NAME OF PRINT QUEUE> | |
HOSTNAME | = | NAME OF SERVER |
PORT | = | 4400 |
BLOCK | = | 1024 |
TIMEOUT | = <ADJUST TO AVOID TIMEOUTS> (i.e. 4000) | |
POLLNUM | = | 100 |
IDLETIMEOUT | = | 60 |
= | <PROCESS NAME> | |
ONLINEMODE | = NO/YES (default is NO) | |
