PRSVR/CONFIG - Print Server Configuration Directives     83/08/05


  Configuration directives for the print server are read from a file
  when the print server is started.  The name of this file is specified
  on the command line, following the PRSVR command.

  The following configuration directives are recognized:


     Directive            Default     Meaning

  PAGE_LENGTH n           66          length, in lines, of page.

  PAGE_WIDTH  n           132         width, in characters, of page.

  FORM_FEEDS  n           1           # form feeds between jobs and
                                      bitmaps. (Default is 1; i.e.,
                                      paper advances from current page
                                      to top of next page.)

  TOP_MARGIN  n           3           # lines to skip after page eject.
  BOTTOM_MARGIN n         4           # lines to skip at bottom of page.

  PAGE_HEADERS {ON|OFF}   ON          "on" causes a 1-line header at the top of
                                      each page, containing filename & page #.

  PAGENO_COLUMN n         90          column in which pg # is printed in header.

  FILE_BANNERS {ON|OFF}   ON          causes a banner page to precede each file.

  LOGO string             no logo     specifies a character string to be printed
                                      on the banner page.

  DEVICE {SPINWRITER|     SPINWRITER  specifies device on which files are
          PRINTRONIX|                 printed.
          VERSATEC|
          GE|
          IMAGEN|
          USER1|USER2|
          USER3|USER4}

  RESOLUTION n            IMAGEN      specifies the resolution of the printer
                          LBP10: 240; in dots per inch. (Currently applies
                          IMAGEN CX:  only to IMAGEN laser printer family.)
                          300

  INTERFACE {SERIAL|      Versatec    indicates the hardware interface used
             VERSATEC|    IKON        by an IMAGEN printer.  Choices are:
             MULTIBUS}    10071-5     SERIAL (SIO line); VERSATEC (Versatec
                          board       IKON 10071-5 board); MULTIBUS (user-
                                      supplied multibus controller. See
                                      HELP PRSVR DEVICE_DRIVER for details.)

  SIO_LINE n              3           specifies SIO line to which Spinwriter is
                                      attached; not meaningful for Printronix or
                                      Versatec.  The default is SIO line 2 if
                                      the printer is attached to a DN300.

  SPEED n                 1200        baud rate for the SIO line; not meaningful
                                      for Printronix or Versatec.

  PRINTER_NAME string     P           specifies printer name, useful when
                                      multiple printers are attached to a node.

  PLOT_MODE {ON|OFF}      OFF         "on" allows plot files to be printed if
                                      the printer is capable of doing so.


  A sample configuration file might look like this:

  page_length 51
  page_width 122
  pageno_column 100
  device printronix
