Entering the START Command for the Impact Printer

Based on the options you have chosen in the previous steps, you can now enter the START command, as follows:
start rdev user system file-options setup printer-options
where:
rdev
is the real device number of the impact printer.
file-options
are the options that relate to the files you have chosen to print (CLASS, FORM, and DEST).
printer-options
are any required options that relate to the control of the impact printer (SEP, NO3800, NOFOLD, IMAGE, CHARS, FCB, INDEX, NOAFP, LIMIT, DEFFCB and SECLABEL).

Always enter the SETUP printer option. This option puts the impact printer in SETUP mode, which allows you to make sure the paper is aligned properly.

You may enter the options in any order.
