VAX/VMS Management/User's Guide

This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX/VMS and MicroVMS operating systems users and system managers on how to effectively utilize and manage the ScriptPrinter software and serial line laser printers.

For system managers, the guide details the installation and management of ScriptPrinter print queues, covering DCL commands for initializing, assigning, defining, deleting, starting, stopping, setting, and showing queues. It also explains VMS accounting for ScriptPrinters, the device control library (including creating custom modules), forms, setup modules, and handling system messages.

For general users, the manual provides instructions on submitting print requests using the VMS PRINT command, understanding various command qualifiers and parameters, managing flag, burst, trailer, and log pages, and recovering from common printer issues like paper jams. It also covers concepts like "layup definition files" for controlling page layout, character encodings, and PostScript programming guidelines.

Key features and updates for ScriptPrinter Software Version 2.0 highlighted include enhanced accounting, support for ANSI setup files, a device control library search list, advanced "Layup" functionality, improved ANSI job performance, new DATA_TYPE synonyms, and shared printer access (multihost). The document also outlines differences between ScriptPrinter and PrintServer software.
