PRSVR/CONFIG - Print Server Configuration Directives     83/08/05


  Configuration directives for the printer server are read from a file
  when the printer server is started.  The name of this file is specified
  on the command line, following the PRSVR command.

  The following configuration directives are recognized:


     Directive            Default     Meaning

  PAGE_LENGTH n           66          length, in lines, of page
  PAGE_WIDTH  n           132         width, in characters, of page

  TOP_MARGIN  n           3           # lines to skip after page eject
  BOTTOM_MARGIN n         4           # lines to skip at bottom of page

  PAGE_HEADERS {ON|OFF}   ON          "on" causes a 1-line header at the top of
                                      each page, containing filename & page #

  PAGENO_COLUMN n         90          column in which pg # is printed in header

  FILE_BANNERS {ON|OFF}   ON          causes a banner page to precede each file

  DEVICE {SPINWRITER|     SPINWRITER  specifies device on which files are
          PRINTRONIX|                 printed
          VERSATEC|
          GE|
          USER1|USER2|
          USER3|USER4}

  SIO_LINE n              3           specifies SIO line to which Spinwriter is
                                      attached; not meaningful for Printronix or
                                      Versatec.  The default is SIO line 2 if
                                      the printer is attached to a DN300.

  SPEED n                 1200        baud rate for the SIO line; not meaningful
                                      for Printronix or Versatec

  PRINTER_NAME string     P           specifies printer name, useful when
                                      multiple printers are attached to a node

  PLOT_MODE {ON|OFF}      OFF         "on" allows plot files to be printed if
                                      the printer is capable of doing so


  A sample configuration file might look like this:

  page_length 51
  page_width 122
  pageno_column 100
  device printronix
