Set-up modules are files that are written in a language that is under-
stood by your printer. These files can serve many purposes, depend-
ing on your needs, from changing default fonts or page margins for a
particular job, to printing a border or title on every page. Use the fol-
lowing command to print with a set-up module:
$ PRINT/SETUP= (mod1,mod2,...) filename.ext
The module names you provide must be in a library, and that library
must be included in the execution queue definition.
A form may also include one or more set-up modules. Use the follow-
ing command to print with a form:
$ PRINT/FORM= form_name filename.ext
You can assign each queue a different characteristic number. A char-
acteristic can refer to a document handling or printer feature, such as
a set-up module or a paper size, that the queue accesses. See chap-
ter 4, "Queues, /PARAMETERS, and Logicals," for information on
assigning characteristics to queues. Use the following command to
print using a characteristic:
$ PRINT/CHARACTERISTIC= n filename.ext
Set-up modules can be associated with generic or execution queues
so that you can access printer features. This allows you to write DOC
or emulation-specific modules which are not normally accessible from
within applications.
File set-up modules may be defined on the command line with
$ PRINT/SETUP=( module1 ,...)...
or by defining a logical associated with your queue in the form
$ DEFINE/SYS QMS$ queue_name _SETUP m1,m2, ...
