- Queuing Reports
- When a report must be printed and a user wishes the CRT available for data entry, the desired report can be queued in the following manner:
- 1. Select a print option from an appropriate display.
- 2. Enter at Device Prompt: Q (QUEUE TO PRINT ON).
- 3. The Device Prompt will again display; you must enter the name of the device.
- 4. You will also need to set the right margin (e.g., 132 or 80 columns); usually the default is selected.
- 5. Another Prompt “Requested Time to Print” must also be completed before the queuing parameters are completed.
- Example:
DEVICE: HOME// Q< Enter> QUEUE TO PRINT ON DEVICE: HOME// (Enter Printer Name; e.g., 132< Enter>) REQUESTED TIME TO PRINT: NOW// (Select from options listed below)
- a. Pressing the Return key will print the report immediately if the printer is available.
- b. Specific time such as: 10:25AM (NOV 28, 1996 10:25AM).
- c. “^” will allow you to exit and the report will not be queued by indicating TRY LATER.
- If either (a) or (b) is entered by you, the report will be printed by the appropriate printer device; the CRT can be used concurrently while the report is printing.
