    JOB COMPLETION NOTIFICATION

    
       This information pertains to NetPort(R) IIs running in print server
    
       mode.
    
    
    
       Once notify is turned on (NP2CON NPxxxxxx NOTIFY=ON or using NPADMIN)
    
       when a user sends a job to a queue NetPort is servicing, that user will
    
       get a message on the 25th line of the monitor, indicating that the job
    
       has printed (in reality the job has left the queue).  Notify uses the
    
       capture field NAM= as the name of the job that has been printer.
    
    
    
       Our notify is different from Novell's notify feature in 2 ways:
    
    
    
         1. Notify is on or off for a NetPort.  Using the NOTIFY flag in
    
            capture does not work.  This does NOT allow flexibility for
    
            individual users.
    
    
    
         2. Novell reports the JOBNAME as the way it identifies the print job. 
    
            NetPort uses the BannerNAMe.
    
    
    
       Customers will need to use NetPort in Remote printer mode if the Novell
    
       functionality is desired.
    
    
    
    

    ERROR CONDITION NOTIFICATION

    
       All users defined as Queue Operators for a queue NetPort(R) is servicing
    
       will be notified of OFF-LINE and HALTED FOR FORMS by a 25th line
    
       message.  A job must be in the queue for the message to appear.  Also,
    
       NetPort will be off-line for about 45 seconds before the message
    
       appears.  Finally, after an off-line message has appeared and been
    
       cleared, future print jobs sent to the queue will not initiate
    
       additional 25 off-line messages until the off-line condition has been
    
       cleared.
