Shutting the Spool Queues and Handling the Remaining Reports 

To verify that the printer is available, to shut down spool queues, and
to begin removing backlogged reports, complete the following steps:

   1.  Verify the printer is active.  Enter:

            :SHOWDEV nn 
            (nn is your printer's ldev number.)

   2.  Shut down the spool queue.

       Entering the SHUTQ command shuts down the spool queues to prevent
       users from sending reports to the printer.  Enter:

            :SHUTQ nn 
              (nn is your printer's ldev number.)

       or

            :SHUTQ devname 
             (devname is the device name of the spooled device)

   3.  List the backlog of existing reports.  Enter:
       [REV BEG]

            :LISTSPF 
       [REV END]

       This lists all spool files.  If the system responds NO SUCH
       FILE(S), you have no spool files.  Since output spool files are
       permanent files, they will still be present when the system is
       restarted.
