Configuring a FASTCNFG File
The PROCESS keyword has the following syntax:
DEVICE Keyword
The DEVICE keyword specifies the device name used to represent a FASTP network
printer. If the node name is not supplied, the default node name for the process
executing the command is substituted. In addition, the DEVICE keyword includes the
specification of DEVICE attributes, which configure network protocol and transport
parameters for specific printer devices. Everything that follows a DEVICE keyword
pertains to the device specified until another DEVICE keyword is encountered.
The DEVICE keyword has the following syntax:
FASTCNFG File Attributes
There are two types of FASTCNFG file attributes: DEVICE attributes and the
FASTCNFG attribute.
DEVICE Attributes
All FASTCNFG file attributes are DEVICE attributes, except for the FASTCNFG
attribute. FASTCNFG DEVICE attributes are used with the DEVICE keyword to
configure network protocol and transport parameters for printer devices. They should
not be used with the SPOOLER or PROCESS keywords. Some DEVICE attributes
(and their attribute values) can be used with any FASTP network print process. Other
DEVICE attributes (and their attribute values) apply only to a specific FASTP network
print process. The supported FASTCNFG DEVICE attributes for each specific FASTP
network print process are described in the product-specific sections of this manual.
The following example from a FASTCNFG file for a FASTPSMB process shows a
DEVICE keyword and keyword value (DEVICE $PRT) followed by two pairs of
attributes and attribute values (CONTYPE = NETBIOS and LAN = $LINE).
DEVICE $PRT
CONTYPE = NETBIOS
LAN = $LINE
This example assumes that the SMB LAN print queue has already been configured
with Spoolcom and has been assigned the name $PRT. The keyword value and
attribute values in this example tell the print process that:
The device being described is the device represented by the name $PRT.
The communications protocol is NetBios.
