Note: The FORMFEED parameter is overridden by the value specified on the PPRSRC1 parameter when the host print transform function is enabled.

*TYPE

Form feed value is determined by the system based on printer type.

For MODEL(*IPDS), this value cannot be determined accurately. You must select a value that is appropriate for the printer: *CONT, *CONT2, *CUT, or *AUTOCUT.

*CONT

Continuous forms are used by the printer. Some printers (3812, 4216) don't have tractor feed attachments (they don't actually support continuous forms). But in some cases, *CONT must be specified to match what the emulated twinaxial printer supports.

*CONT2

Continuous forms are used by the printer. The form is fed from the secondary tractor feed attachment. The secondary tractor feed attachment must be on the printer device. This value is allowed for 4214, 4234, 4247, and *IPDS printers.

*CUT

Single-cut sheets are used by the printer. For cut sheets, the forms alignment message is not sent. This value is valid for all ASCII printers, except the 4216 Printer emulating a SCS 5219 Printer.

*AUTOCUT

Single-cut sheets are fed into the printer automatically. The printer must have the sheet feed attachment. The *AUTOCUT feature is valid for 4207, 4208, 4216, 4224, and 5204 printers that are emulating a 5219 printer.

Top

Separator drawer (SEPDRAWER)

Specifies which drawer is selected for printing separators.

*FILE

The separator pages are printed on paper from the same drawer as the rest of the spooled file.

separator-drawer

Specify a value ranging from 1 through 255 to indicate the drawer from which the separator pages are printed.

Note: For some printers, SEPDRAWER(3) implies an envelope drawer.

Top

Separator program (SEPPGM)

Specifies a style of separator page by allowing you to call a user exit program while printing job and file separators.

*NONE

The separator pages are not changed.

exit-program-name

Specify an exit program name.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL: All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is used to locate the exit program. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name

Specify the name of the library where the exit program is located.

Top

Number of drawers (NBRDRAWER)

Specifies, for ASCII printers defined with *AUTOCUT for the form feed (FORMFEED parameter), whether the printer's sheet feed attachment supports 1, 2, or 3 drawers. This parameter is not applicable if form feed is *CONT or *CUT.

Note: The number of drawers parameter specifies how many drawers the printer physically supports, not which drawer the paper is selected from. The individual print files sent to the printer will dictate which drawer is selected.

1

One drawer is physically supported.

2

Two drawers are physically supported.

3

Three drawers are physically supported.

For the printers that support FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT), the following number of drawers are supported:

For 4207-1 and 4208 printers, only NBRDRAWER(1) is valid.
For a 4224 printer, only NBRDRAWER(3) is valid.
For 4207-2, 4216, and 5204 printers, NBRDRAWER values of 1, 2, and 3, are supported.

Note: NBRDRAWER(3) implies that two paper drawers and an envelope drawer are used.

Top

Printer error message (PRTERRMSG)

Specifies whether the device has inquiry messages or informational messages for recoverable errors. This parameter is not applicable for printers attached to ASCII work station controllers.

*INQ

Inquiry messages are sent for recoverable errors.

*INFO

Informational messages are sent for recoverable errors.

Top

Message queue (MSGQ)

Specifies the message queue to which operational messages for this device are sent.

*CTLD: Messages are sent to the message queue defined in the attached controller. The message queue is determined when the device is varied on.

*SYSOPR: Messages are sent to the system operator message queue (QSYS/QSYSOPR).

message-queue-name

Specify the name of the message queue to which operational messages are sent.

*LIBL

All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Top

Application type (APPTYPE)

Specifies the application type used by this device.

*NONE

The device is not used for any application.

*NRF

Top

Activation timer (ACTTMR)

Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the device to respond to the activation request from the host IBM i. If the device does not respond within this time, it is considered not available.

Note: This parameter is valid only on switched lines and when *SNPT is specified for the DEVCLS parameter.

170

The device waits 170 seconds.

*NOMAX

The device waits forever.

Note: *NOMAX is valid only when DEVCLS(*LAN) and AFP(*YES) are specified.

activation-timer

Specify a number indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.

Note: If LANATTACH is *LEXLINK, and the specified number of seconds has elapsed, an inquiry message is issued.

Top

Inactivity timer (INACTTMR)

Specifies an inactivity timer (time-out) value. This parameter also specifies what happens when the time-out value is exceeded, dependent on other attributes of the device:

For devices connected using SNA pass-through (SNPT) support, the user is informed by a message to QSYSOPR and the session is ended when the amount of time that the device is not bound to a host application exceeds the time-out value. The user must reestablish the connection and session.
For devices with an application type value of *APPINIT, *DEVINIT, or *NRF, the session is ended when the device is inactive (the file opened against the device is closed and no additional requests to open files are received for the device) for a period of time that exceeds the time-out value.

Note: This timer is not used by devices allocated to a subsystem (normal interactive use) because the subsystem always has a file open for the device. The timer is used by batch jobs that open and close files for the device.

For all other attachments, valid values range from 1 through 30 minutes.

*ATTACH

This value varies by the value on the physical attachment (ATTACH parameter) and certain values on the device class (DEVCLS) and application type (APPTYPE) parameters.

For DEVCLS(*SNPT) or APPTYPE(*DEVINIT) support, *ATTACH maps to *NOMAX.
For DEVCLS(*LAN), *ATTACH maps to *SEC15.
For APPTYPE(*NRF) and APPTYPE(*APPINIT) support, *ATTACH maps to 1 minute.

*NOMAX

No maximum inactivity time is tracked (no inactivity timer is to be enforced).

*SEC15

A 15-second time-out period is used.

*SEC30

A 30-second time-out period is used.

inactivity-timer

Specifies a time-out value in minutes.

Top

Specifies the name configured for a group of host devices in a configuration list (see CRTCFGL command). This indicates that this device is associated with any one of the devices in that group which is available.

*NONE

No name is specified.

group-name

Specify the name configured for a group of host devices that must be associated with this device.

Top

Host signon/logon command (LOGON)

Specifies the sign-on (logon) text. This parameter is allowed when DEVCLS(*SNPT) or APPTYPE(*NRF) is specified. APPTYPE(*NRF) specifies the logon string that is sent to the host system when a request is made to establish a session. DEVCLS(*SNPT) specifies the sign-on (logon) text that is sent to the host system after starting SNA pass-through support.

This parameter also specifies the logon string that is sent to the system services control point (SSCP) on the host network when the file is opened for *NRF.

*NONE

No text is sent to the host system.

host-logon-command

Specify text that is sent to the host system. The text must be enclosed in apostrophes if it contains blanks or other special characters. All apostrophes within the text must be represented by two apostrophes. A maximum of 256 characters can be specified.

The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.

*USE: The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

*EXCLUDE: The user cannot access the object.

*LIBCRTAUT: The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library (CRTLIB) command for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.

name: Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.
