Parameters set by the STARTPTR command when you initialize a printer remain in effect even if you stop the printer with the STOPPTR command. STARTPTR is used to restart a stopped printer, but since the printer definitions are stored in the printer control block, all you have to specify is the printer number in order to restart it.
This procedure assumes that a printer has already been started (and stopped) at least once with the STARTPTR command, and that proper setup and configuration has not changed.
Perform this step to restart a stopped printer:
Type this command line at TCL from SYSPROG:
STARTPTR printer |
Parameter(s)
printer |
Identifying number you assign to the printer. |
If you try to start a printer that has not been stopped or that is set to stop but is still printing a job, this message displays:
PRINTER MUST BE STOPPED |
