Entering Spoolcom Commands

Entering Spoolcom Commands

You can enter Spoolcom commands using any of these methods:

Entering Individual Spoolcom Commands at the TACL Prompt

Eenter the keyword Spoolcom followed by the command. Spoolcom executes the
command and returns you to the TACL program, which displays another TACL prompt.
To display the status of the printer $LP1:

The Spoolcom DEV command expects a printer device name, not a printer location
name. Use the Spoolcom LOC command to list all printer locations on your node and
the device name of each location.

Starting a Spoolcom Process and Entering Commands Interactively

1. Enter the keyword Spoolcom at the TACL prompt.

Spoolcom displays its program banner, copyright message, and the Spoolcom
prompt, which is a close parenthesis:

Fields in the Spoolcom banner are:

T9101D10 is the product number and version for Spoolcom.

(08JUN92) is the release date for this version of Spoolcom.

\WEST is the system on which this Spoolcom process is running.

2. Enter a Spoolcom command at the prompt.

After executing the command (or displaying an error message if the command is
invalid), Spoolcom redisplays its prompt and waits for another command.

3. To terminate Spoolcom, enter the EXIT command or CTRL-Y.
