Printer Profile Screen (Host-Based) The Printer Profile screenis used to define the characteristics associated with a printer profile. Figure 4-3 shows a Printer Profile screenfor host-based management.Figure 4-3. Printer Profile Screen (Host-Based) Fields Printer type The printer type associated with the profile. Four printer types are supplied with MPE/iX: printer type 18, 21, 22 and 26. See Printer Types earlier in this chapter. Printer type file A printer type file is a collection of name characteristics that cause the host to behave in a specific way. It defines the characteristics between the printer and the MPE/iX operating system. Instead of using the default printer type files 18, 21, 22, or 26, you may create your own customized printer type and store it in a file. Use the Workstation Configurator, TTUTIL.PUB.SYS to create your own printer type files. Refer to the Customizing Terminal and Printer Type Files with Workstation Configurator (5959-2870) for more information. Line speed The linespeed, in bits per second. Supported speeds are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400. (Line speed 38400 is supported for direct connect devices on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only, and the attached device must also support this speed. This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored.) Record width The number of characters for eachrecord. For HP printers, the record width is usually 132 (the width of the line). Modem type Specifies the type of modem used in the connection. 0 means that modems will not be used. 1 means that a US modem will be used. 2 means that a European modem will be used. Modem behavior The DTC supports the following types of modembehavior which define the protocol used to establish a modem link between the DTC port and the attached device. 0 means no modem used. 1 specifies DCE modem behavior. Used for terminal connections. It uses a 2 minute timer to establish the link, and the DTC may disconnect if a carriage return is not received within a 2 minute interval. 2 specifies DTE modembehavior. Used for termtype 26 supported on MPE/iX for remote printer access. 3 specifies DCE modembehavior, except that it does not use a 2 minute timer to establish the link. The DTC does not disconnect the link after a 2 minute interval and the port remains open for connection establishment. (This option is supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only.) This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/ iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored. Parity The type of paritythat will be used, if parity is enabled for devices using this profile. Choices are none, even, odd, 0's, or 1's. This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored. Initially spooled? Specifies whether the profile will be initially spooled. NLIO device? Specifies whether native language deviceswill be used. Hardware handshake? Specifies whether hardware handshakewill be used. Hardware handshake uses modem signals CTS and RTS to pace the data transfer from the DTC to the attached device. (Supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only. This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored.) Device class names Device classesprovide a means of accessing devices associated with a profile. Each device class name is up to eight alphanumeric characters beginning with a letter. Up to 450 device class names may be used for a printer profile; the total number of supported, configured device classes defined in all profiles is 1000. Use the [Go To CLASSES] key to go to an Additional Device Class Names screen for entering additional device class names. __________________________________________________ NOTE If you are changing profile characteristics, you can see which ldevs and DTCs will be affected by the change by pressing the [Assoc Ldevs] function key on the profile screen corresponding to the profile you are changing. After pressing this key, you will see a list of all ldevs using this profile in the DTCs configured in DTS. __________________________________________________
