SPOOLF

 

The system in terrupts spool ￿le prin ting only if

 

the newly speci￿ed target devname di￿ers from

 

the previous target devname .

PRI

Speci￿es the output priority of the designated spool ￿les, where

 

0 is the lowest priority and 14 is the highest priority . You

 

can specify an outpri of 14 only from the console or if y ou

 

have system supervisor (OP) capability; otherwise, the highest

 

priority is 13.

COPIES

Speci￿es the number of copies, numcopies , of the designated

 

spool ￿les to be prin ted. The allowable range is from 1 through

 

65535.

SPSAVE

Speci￿es that the selected spool ￿les are not to be deleted

 

after the last copies ha ve printed. Instead, the spool ￿les are

 

retained in the HPSPOOL account in the SPSAVE state until you

 

manually delete them. You cannot, however, save private spool

 

￿les.

 

When a ￿le enters the SPSAVE state, the system sets the

 

priority to 8 and the number of copies to 1.

DEFER

Changes the spool ￿le's state to DEFER . If the spool ￿le is

 

currently in the print state, its spooler is noti￿ed and prin ting

 

stops. The spool ￿le's priorit y remains unchanged. If you use

 

this parameter with the PRINT option, the system copies the

 

spool ￿le to OUT.HPSPOOL and links it to the spooling system,

 

but the state of the spool ￿le is DEFER. The spool ￿le does not

 

print until you enter a subsequent SPOOLF . . . ;UNDEFER .

 

If you use the DEFER parameter for an y ￿le in the CREATE state

 

(open for original creation), the spool ￿le only en ters the DEFER

 

state after it is completed (closed for the last time).

UNDEFER

Changes a spool ￿le's state from DEFER to READY and causes

 

a spooler to start prin ting the spool ￿le if the spool ￿le is

 

quali￿ed to be printed by an idle printer. The spool ￿le's

 

priority remains unchanged.
