♦ Form Type Service This parameter, along with the queue
service mode described below, determines how the print
server handles forms when it is serving print queues.
Using the PCONSOLE program, you can define different forms,
which identify the different types of paper that the printer can
use (e.g., plain, letterhead, legal, A4, B4, etc.). Print jobs may
specify what print form they wish to use. If a job requests a
form that isn’t currently loaded, it may be necessary for the
printer operator to manually change forms before printing can
continue.
If the form type service is set to All Forms, then the print server
ignores the job’s form and immediately prints all jobs sent to it.
If it is set to Current Form, then the printer uses the Queue
Service Mode parameter to determine how to handle form
changes.
♦ Queue Service Mode Determines how the printer responds
to changes in the current printing form:
◊ Change as needed Serves print jobs in order, stopping to
allow a forms change every time it becomes necessary.
◊ Minimize form changes within print queues Reorders
jobs within an individual print queue in order to minimize
the number of form changes required. When a forms
change is required, printing will stop to allow the change.
◊ Service only currently mounted forms Only services
printer queue jobs that use a form that the printer already
has. Jobs using other forms will be left in the queue to be
served by other printers.
