Print Device Attributes
If a device has been configured but was not included in the spooler coldstart, you can
add it to your spooler any time the spooler is not draining or dormant. It is not necessary
to stop the spooler to add a new device. As soon as a device is defined, the supervisor
control files are updated with the name and corresponding attributes of the new device.
Note. The total number of devices must not exceed the maximum configured at the time of
spooler coldstart, and the number of locations cannot exceed that maximum.
If you want a device to be part of your configuration every time you perform a system load of
the spooler, be sure to add it to the spooler configuration file.
Adding a Print Device To Your Spooler Subsystem
1. Enter this SPOOLCOM command:
> SPOOLCOM
) DEV $device, PROCESS $print-process
[ , device-attribute ] ...
$device can be a virtual device, a process, a file, or the name of a device that is
configured onto your system. (Use SCF LISTDEV to find out the names of all the
devices configured onto your system.)
$print-process is the name of the print process that controls the device.
Description and Default Value
The program file for this print process (by default assumes
this is an independent process).
A print process parameter passed by the supervisor to the
print process in the startup message. Its meaning is defined
by a user-written print process, and it can be used only
with user-written print processes.
The execution priority of the print process (default is 145).
