Mackie V7.0 manual Printing a document with a Manual form

Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using other Xprint V7.0 objects

i

Jobs using forms of the type MANUAL, which require manual intervention at the printer, are only printed when Xprint V7.0 is informed that the required steps for printing these jobs have been performed. For this purpose Xprint V7.0 provides the xpmount command which sends this information to Xprint V7.0.

Printing a document with a MANUAL form

To print a document with a MANUAL form, proceed as follows:

●Submit the print job and select the required form: xpadd -job -dr file -fm form

●Prepare the target printer accordingly.

●Now tell the system that the form is mounted and printing can thus be started. Use the following command:

xpmount

By means of menus the system then asks you to specify the mounted form and target printer (see example). When the required specifications are made, the system starts printing the document.

The xpmount command also provides the options -fform, -dprinter and -s(silent mode, i.e. the user is not asked for mount confirmation); this allows you to avoid the menu selection by explicitly specifying the relevant values.

●If you need to print with normal settings again, make the required changes on the printer.

●Notify the system of this: xpmount -f- -d printer

where the option -dprinter, i.e. the printer from which the form was removed, must be specified.
