<h1 class="topictitle1">A job's life: the job finishes and moves to the output queue</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A job's printer output (also called spooled files) is sent to an
|
||
|
|
output queue where it waits to be sent to a printer or file. The output queue
|
||
|
|
is similar to the job queue in that it controls how the output is made available
|
||
|
|
to the printer. The output queue allows the user to control what files are
|
||
|
|
printed first. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><dfn class="term">Output queues</dfn> are areas where printer output files wait to
|
||
|
|
be processed and sent to the printer. Printer output is created either by
|
||
|
|
the system or by the user using a print file. A print file is similar to a
|
||
|
|
template or a guideline where the default values for the attributes of printer
|
||
|
|
output are set. It is the beginning of the printer output life cycle. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The print file contains the output queue (OUTQ) and print device (DEV)
|
||
|
|
attributes, which dictate how the printer output is to be directed. The default
|
||
|
|
settings are typically *JOB, meaning that the job attributes of the output
|
||
|
|
queue and printer device determine how the printer output is directed. The
|
||
|
|
job attributes of the output queue and printer device settings are based on
|
||
|
|
information obtained when the job is created. This is based on information
|
||
|
|
from the user profile that the job is running under, the job description,
|
||
|
|
the workstation device description, and the Default printer (QPRTDEV) system
|
||
|
|
value. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the printer output is ready to be created, the system checks the print
|
||
|
|
file and the job attributes (in this order) to see what output queue will
|
||
|
|
process the printer output and which printer device the system will use. If
|
||
|
|
a specified output queue cannot be found, the printer output will be directed
|
||
|
|
to QGPL/QPRINT.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p> After the printer output file is ready to be printed, a writer job, a
|
||
|
|
job that processes the printer output from the output queue to the printer
|
||
|
|
device, takes data from the printer output file and sends it to the designated
|
||
|
|
printer.</p>
