_$ QMS$PSLEGAL_PUBS_QUEUE -
_$ "DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT,SHEET_SIZE=LEGAL"
Any job sent to the PSLEGAL_PUBS queue receives the PRINT
parameters DATA_TYPE=POSTSCRIPT and SHEET_ SIZE=LEGAL.
The print symbiont translates these parameters into QMS DOCs and
sends the job to the printer that is associated with the QMS_PUBS
execution queue.
When a node sends a job to the printer via a generic queue, the job
controller places the job in the generic queue and monitors the status
of the associated execution queue. If the execution queue is busy, the
job controller waits until it's idle and then moves the job to the queue
and alerts the print symbiont. The symbiont adds the necessary
printer information to the job (based on how the user specified the
PRINT parameters) and sends the job to the printer.
QMS Crown printers equipped with internal hard disks spool all print
jobs to this hard disk, making most queue management commands
associated with host-based spooling unnecessary for day-to-day
operation of the printer. (Some spooling is handled in RAM for those
printers without an internal hard disk.) If you check the printer queues
with the SHOW QUEUE command, you may find that no jobs are
listed in the queue although the printer is printing and processing sev-
eral jobs. The jobs are spooled to the printer's internal print queueing
system.
The Administration/Emulations/DECnet-TCP/IP/Spooling menu con-
trols spooling. If it is set to On Idle, DECnet print jobs are accepted
only if the printer is idle. If it is set to On, DECnet print jobs are
accepted as long as there is spool space on the printer. If it is set to On
