<h4 id="rzaludirectprt">Allow direct printing</h4>
<p>Direct printing is when the *SPOOL parameter in the printer file is set
to *NO and output data is written directly to the printer.</p>
<p>A printer can be shared between a printer writer and direct print jobs.
To allow direct print jobs as well as spooled files for a printer, specify
*YES on the ALWDRTPRT parameter of the Start (<a href="../cl/strprtwtr.htm">PRTWTR</a>) command. This causes the printer writer to release the printer for direct
print jobs when either of the following conditions is true:</p>
<ul>
<li>The printer writer is held.</li>
<li>The output queue associated with the printer contains no spooled files
waiting to print.</li></ul>
<p>When using direct printing, you must also be concerned with the WAITFILE
parameter in the printer file. The WAITFILE parameter specifies how long a
direct print job should wait if the printer is busy before being cancelled.
The default value for the WAITFILE parameter is *IMMED. It is recommended
that the WAITFILE parameter be set to 2 or 3 minutes. If you set the value
of the WAITFILE too large, you can tie up your interactive session while waiting
for the job to print.</p>
<p>The STRPRTWTR command can be modified to allow all printers being started
to accept direct print jobs. Use the Change Command Default (<a href="../cl/chgcmddft.htm">CHGCMDDFT</a>) command to set the value of the value of the ALWDRTPRT parameter
to *YES. Thereafter, when the STRPRTWTR command is used, direct printing is
enabled.</p>
<p>The Change Writer (CHGWTR) command cannot be used to enable direct printing.</p>
<p>Direct printing is not supported on printers configured for Advanced Function Presentation&trade; (AFP&trade;).</p>
