Netport(R) II Print Server: Notification Options
Contents:
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.
