VMS
To print to the Phaser 560 printer in the VMS environment, you must have the
symbiont PhaserSym or equivalent running on the host. To print to the printer
from the host, you must first have the printer's queue established. This is
site-dependent and requires the aid of the site's network administrator. When
the queue is in place, you can proceed to the next step.
1.
To verify the VMS host-to-Phaser 560 connection, use the NCP LOOP
CIRCUIT command from the host.
PhaserSym 2.0 has a built-in ping function. When the kitcp start queue
command is issued, a connection to the printer is attempted. If
REPLY/ENABLE+PRINTER is set, any error message will be
displayed such as "remote node is unknown or not reachable." If the
queue starts without errors, then the ping was successful.
2.
From the host, issue the SHOW QUEUE /full command to list all the
available printer queues. Ensure that the Phaser 560's queue is listed.
3. Print to the printer by sending the command:
print/queue=<queue name> <file.nam>
where <queue name> is the printer's queue and <file.nam> is any
PostScript file.
If the workstation host does not print to the printer, reset the printer and then
load the error handling utility into the printer's memory using the front panel
menu item Printer Defaults — PS Error Handler.
Alternatively, reset the printer and then download the Tek Error Handler utility
to the printer.
1. Locate the TEKEHAND.PS file in the PHSR560 directory on the Printer
Utility diskette.
2.
Copy the TEKEHAND.PS file to the workstation's hard disk or use the
file from the diskette.
3. Make sure that the printer port is configured to receive PostScript,
then send the file to the printer.
This loads the error handling utility into the printer's memory where it remains
until the printer is turned off. Send a print file to the printer as explained in the
previous procedure. If an error occurs, it will print a page listing the error.
