A.3 Description of Variables
In this section, the variables of the shell scripts which must or can
be changed are described.
HOST Contains the host name or IP address of the print server, such as
HOST=SB0001FF.
PORTS Indicates the logical printer. The 'PORTS=lp1, lp2, lp3, lp4, lp5,
lp6, lp7, lp8' presetting specifies all logical printers of the print
server. Select the desired logical printer and delete the others. By
means of the 'PORTS=lp1' default setting, for example, the
printing sequence will be carried out by means of logical printer
no. 1. For more information, read the "Logical Printer" section on
page 1-3.
FTP Indicates the complete path of the FTP command. This path
depends on the respective UNIX System, such as
'FTP=/usr/bin/ftp' for System V or AIX and 'FTP=/usr/ucb/ftp' for
BSD.
WAI T Indicates the waiting period in seconds after which the print job is
repeated. This value can usually remain unchanged.
MAXR Contains a loop counter. This counter determines the behavior of
the shell script when the print data could not be transferred
because, for example, the desired printer port is currently
occupied. In case of a presetting of MAXR=10, the system will
wait a maximum of 1024 seconds, i.e., approx. 15 minutes, for the
desired printer port to be free.
When MAXR has been initialized with a value of zero, the shell
script will come to an end. When MAXR has been initialized with
