XDEVTYPS

The XDEVTYPS module contains an entry for each device type. Each entry describes a combination of a printer type and a protocol converter type. The XDEVTYPS module also contains masks, which are used to determine if a module must be deleted from storage when no longer needed. The module can also be kept, to save re-loading it the next time it is used.

XDEVTYPS Macros

The following macros are used in the XDEVTYPS module:

$LPDVP

Names device type for all macro calls until next $LPDVP macro

$LPDEV

Describes the characteristics of a device type

$LPCMS

Defines command skeletons to construct commands which make the printer do certain tasks such as reset the printer, or move the printer's logical cursor. The sequence must be in alphabetic order of the parameters on the $LPDEV macro call that selected them.

XDEVTYPS Macros Example

The following shows an example of XDEVTYPS macro use:
