    VMS LAT Host Configuration The configuration process requires that you have system manager privileges. Before starting the LAT configuration process, you must first make sure that LAT has been started on your system. If you are currently using terminal servers on your network, then LAT has probably already been activated.

Use the VMS editor to create a text file with the necessary configuration commands (alternatively, you may edit the file LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM for VMS 5.5-x and later systems or LTLOAD.COM for earlier VMS systems). For instance, the following sample command file creates a queue named XJ on LAT port 33 for a print server with a default node name of BRN_310107 using the LATSYM processor and the default VMS form: $MCR LATCP...

    CHAPTER 9 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION Eliminating Blank Pages When printing through VMS, a blank page is often printed after each job. To eliminate this blank page, first create a text file with the following contents: <ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\ where <ESC> is the escape character (ASCII 27) and "VMS" is in uppercase. Then insert this file into your default library (normally SYSDEVCTL.TLB), and specify it as a setup module in your form (stop and reset all queues that use the library before doing this procedure).

Users on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file server running the Banyan PCPrint software, which in turn spools the jobs to the print server. Printing is transparent to user applications, and the print server can be managed using standard VINES utilities like MANAGE, MSERVICE, MUSER and the Operator Console printer control.
