Configuring a FASTP Network Print Process

A FASTP network print process and its devices can be configured:

As part of cold starting a Spooler subsystem (starting a new Spooler subsystem).

When a Spooler subsystem is active.
Configuration of a FASTP network print process involves two main tasks:

Configuration of the FASTP network print process in the Spooler subsystem.
FASTP network print processes and devices are configured for a Spooler
subsystem using the Spoolcom interface PRINT, DEV, and LOC commands.
Spoolcom commands can be entered:

Interactively

As part of a separate command file

As part of a Spooler cold start configuration file

Configuration of a FASTCNFG file for the FASTP network print process.
In addition to configuring the FASTP network print process in the Spooler
environment, you also must provide network/protocol specific parameters for its
devices in an external configuration file known as FASTCNFG. This file contains
information that is used by the FASTP network print process to determine:

Which protocol the print process should use to communicate with the network
printer.

Which I/O process the print process should use to communicate with the
network printer.

How the print process should identify the network printer on the network.

Other configuration parameters specific to the communications protocol.
Note. Beginning with the G06 and D48 new product versions of FASTPTCP, you also can
convert one or more FASTCNFG files into a FASTKCON key-sequenced file. Using this
feature is described in detail in
the G06 and D48 RVUs)
