INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR[:type] processorname[/qualifier[s]] DEVICE PRINTER BATCH_PROCESSOR APPLICATIONS_PROCESSOR CARD_READER The INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR command initializes a processor and makes it known to the queue manager. This is generally done in the system startup command file. Note, /DEVICE and /PRINTER, are synonyms for initializing processors which are associated with some hardware device such as a printer or plotter. This is the default processor type. Use /BATCH_PROCESSOR for initializing batch processors. Use /APPLICATIONS_PROCESSOR when your output device is not a physical device but rather some software application. The following qualifiers are available: /FLAG_PAGE /FORMS /LOWERCASE /UPPERCASE /[NO]SHAREABLE See HELP INITIALIZE PROCESSOR CARD_READER for information on initializing input processors. 3 CARD_READER INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR:type processorname[/qualifier[s]] CARD_READER /BATCH_QUEUE:queuename INPUT /PRINTER_QUEUE:queuename /CONSOLE:ddnn: The INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR:CARD_READER command initializes a processor associated with a card reader device. This is referred to as "input spooling". INPUT is a synonym for CARD_READER. The /BATCH_QUEUE and /PRINTER_QUEUE qualifiers specify default batch and print queues for jobs read from the card reader. The defaults for these qualifiers are the queues BATCH and PRINT, respectively. The /CONSOLE qualifier specifies which terminal will be used for messages that are displayed by the card reader processor. The default is CO0:. 3 FLAG_PAGE INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/FLAG_PAGE:n The /FLAG_PAGE qualifier specifies how many, if any, job flag pages and file flag pages are to be generated for a print job. These flag pages separate and identify jobs and files within those jobs. Valid values for n are 0, 1, or 2. The default value is /FLAG_PAGE:1. It is recommended that flag pages be used on normal output forms as they are the only way to separate and identify print jobs. It is recommended that flag pages NOT be used on special forms, such as checks, as they will write over some of these (possibly prenumbered) forms. This qualifier is only valid when initializing a print processor. 3 FORMS INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/FORMS:n The /FORMS qualifier specifies the physical form type for the printer being initialized. An installation may have up to 256 different physical forms used for different jobs. For example, one might have normal 11 1/2 x 14 7/8 paper for reports and general output, along with special forms for paychecks, invoices, federal tax forms, etc. Each of these forms is given a number to identify it. For information on setting up special forms, please see the RSX-11M/M-PLUS System Manager's Guide. The Queue Manager will only dequeue a job to a printer if the form number of the form in the printer matches the form number requested by the print job. Therefore, many jobs using a variety of forms may reside in a queue at the same time but only those with a certain form number will be printed on the printer to which that queue is assigned. 3 LOWERCASE #UPPERCASE 3 UPPERCASE INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/LOWERCASE INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/UPPERCASE The /LOWERCASE and /UPPERCASE qualifiers specify whether the printer being initialized has the lower case character option. The setting of this qualifier does not cause a translation of lower case characters to uppercase when the job is printed. It simply limits which jobs may be dequeued to that printer. 3 SHAREABLE INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/SHAREABLE INITIALIZE/PROCESSOR processorname/NOSHAREABLE The /SHAREABLE and /NOSHAREABLE qualifiers specify whether tasks other than the device processor have access to the device being spooled. If /SHAREABLE is specified, the processor owns the device only for the duration of a job. If no job is currently being printed, the device is available for any other task to use. If /NOSHAREABLE is specified, the device is always owned by the processor, whether or not a job is being printed. This is the default.
