z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference - z/VM - IBM

START UR (Unit Record)
the current form is printed or punched, the output device stops. The operator
can then schedule a new form by issuing START with the FORM option.
If FORM (asterisk) * is specified, spool files are printed or punched, regardless
of the form, and the output device does not stop between spool files with
different forms.
SEtup
indicates that the operator wants CP to print a page so that forms alignment
can be verified. (This option is only valid for impact printers). The operator gets
a message indicating that he or she should set up the forms. When the form
has been set up, the operator should press the STOP button, then the START
button. An alignment page is then printed. The alignment page is the first
non–blank page of the file, with letters replaced with Xs and numbers replaced
by 9s. Each time the operator presses the STOP, START buttons after a full
alignment page has been printed, another alignment page is printed. When the
forms are aligned, issue the START command for the device. The printer
returns to its previous mode (AUTO or MANUAL), and the file prints in its
entirety.
If neither AUTO, MANUAL, nor SETUP is specified and the printer is currently in
SETUP mode, it returns to the previous mode, AUTO or MANUAL. If no START
command has been issued with the AUTO, MANUAL, or SETUP options since the
last cold, force, or clean start, the default is MANUAL.
SEP
NOsep
indicates whether you want a file separator for output files. This option is not
valid for readers.
If you do not want separator pages to be printed, you must always specify
NOSEP.
If no START command with the SEP or NOSEP option has been issued since
the last cold, force, or clean start, the default specified on the RDEVICE
statement in the system configuration file.
Note: If an external security manager is installed and security label checking is
enabled, the NOSEP option is not valid. For more information, see your
security administrator.
AFP
NOAfp
specifies whether the printer is to process files with advanced function printer
(AFP) characteristics. This option is valid for CP printers only. If a CP printer is
started with the NOAFP option, that CP printer does not choose a file having an
associated XAB or containing the special X'5A' CCWs. If a CP printer is started
with the AFP option, that CP printer can select files having an associated XAB
or containing the special X'5A' CCWs, but CP discards these attributes because
they have no meaning for a CP printer.
1518 z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference
If no START command with the AFP/NOAFP option has been issued since the
last cold, force, or clean start, the default setting specified on the RDEVICE
statement in the system configuration file.
ANY3800
places no restrictions on the presence or absence of 3800 load CCWs within
spool files. This option can potentially cause a slower output queue, depending
on the number of 3800 load CCWs issued by the selected spool files.
