<h4 id="rzalualign">Align (ALIGN) parameter</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>The align parameter on the Start Printer Writer (STRPRTWTR) and Create
|
||
|
|
Printer File (CRTPRTF) commands influences how the iSeries™ server issues
|
||
|
|
messages to check forms alignment in printers before they start to print.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the value on the STRPRTWTR align parameter is *WTR, the printer writer
|
||
|
|
keeps track of spooled files that are to be printed and issues a forms alignment
|
||
|
|
message whenever it determines that forms alignment is needed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If this value is *FIRST, the forms alignment message is issued only for
|
||
|
|
the first spooled file printed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following events cause the printer writer to issue a forms alignment
|
||
|
|
message: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Delete or hold spooled file command (option *IMMED) issued against a spooled
|
||
|
|
file with a status of WTR</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Printer writer or spooled file restarted</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Previous spooled file was created with ASCII data (virtual print) and
|
||
|
|
current spooled file was not</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Forms length of previous spooled file is different from current spooled
|
||
|
|
file</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>File being printed is the first file to print after a printer writer has
|
||
|
|
been started</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Forms type is changed (after a G reply to a CPA3394 or CPA3395 message)

<a name="wq290"></a>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notetitle" id="wq290">Note:</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">A B reply to these messages allows you to skip or not receive the
|
||
|
|
alignment message.</div></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Incorrect control characters have been detected on a workstation printer
|
||
|
|
in the previous file</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The Cancel key on a workstation printer has been pressed while the previous
|
||
|
|
file is being printed</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A C (Cancel) reply has been given to the inquiry message for unprintable
|
||
|
|
characters detected on a workstation printer in a previous file</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>An H (Hold) reply has been given to some inquiry messages on a workstation
|
||
|
|
printer</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A printer writer has recovered from a communications failure on a remote
|
||
|
|
workstation printer</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not want the printer writer to control the issuing of forms alignment
|
||
|
|
messages, you can specify *FILE as the value for the align parameter of the
|
||
|
|
STRPRTWTR command and *YES on the align parameter of the printer file used
|
||
|
|
with the application that produces the spooled file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the value on the STRPRTWTR align parameter is *FILE, the printer writer
|
||
|
|
looks at the attributes of the spooled file created by the application program.
|
||
|
|
Specifically, the printer writer looks at the align parameter value of the
|
||
|
|
spooled file attributes to determine if it should send a forms alignment check.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the align parameter value of the spooled file attributes is *YES, the
|
||
|
|
printer writer sends a message to check forms alignment on the target printer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the align parameter value of the spooled file attributes is *NO, the
|
||
|
|
printer writer does not send any messages to check forms alignment on the
|
||
|
|
target printer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to avoid any forms alignment messages, you can specify *FILE
|
||
|
|
for the align parameter on the Start Printer Writer (STRPRTWTR) command and
|
||
|
|
*NO as the align parameter value of the printer file. With this combination
|
||
|
|
of values, the iSeries server does not send any messages to check alignment.</p>
