Using The Error Handler Utility - Tektronix Phaser 440 Service Manual

Using the Error Handler utility

VMS
To print to the Phaser 440 in the VMS environment, you must have the symbiont
PhaserSym running on the host. To print to the printer from the host, you must
first have the printer's queue established. This is site-dependent and requires
the aid of the site's network administrator. When the queue is in place, you can
proceed to the next step.
1. To verify the VMS host-to-Phaser 440 connection, use the NCP LOOP
CIRCUIT command from the host.
2. From the host, issue the SHOW QUEUE /full command to list all the
available printer queues. Ensure that the Phaser 440's queue is listed.
3.
Print to the printer by sending the command:
print/queue=<queue name> <file.nam>
where <queue name> is the printer's queue and <file.nam> is any
PostScript file.
If the workstation host does not print to the printer, download the Tek Error
Handler utility to the printer.
1.
Locate the TEKEHAND.PS file in the PHSR440 directory on the Printer
Utility diskette.
2. Copy the TEKEHAND.PS file to the workstation's hard disk or use the
file from the diskette.
3. Make sure that the printer port is configured to receive PostScript,
then send the file to the printer.
This loads the error handling utility into the printer's memory where it remains
until the printer is turned off. Send a print file to the printer as explained in the
previous procedure. If an error occurs, it will print a page listing the error.
