AS/400 User Guide
Working with Print Jobs
Users can change and control the interaction of print jobs with the AS/400. Display Messages
for the System Operator helps determine detailed information about a printing job. Reference
section on Working with Messages.
Each printer-specific message will be displayed on the System Operator message
queue. You are responsible for monitoring messages and taking appropriate action.
Example: Invoicing job may require a special form. A message to "Change Forms" will hold
up the print job until the user responds. You may have to align the forms and/or tell the
printer to continue printing from the point it stopped.
