Order of
Precedence
You may use any of the PRINT parameters explained in this chapter.
Any parameter that you express on the command line takes
precedence over the same parameter specified in the generic queue
definition.
Queue Logical Precedence
Unique document handling features of the Crown printers are controlled using QMS Document Option Commands (DOC). These commands are prepended to the print job by the print symbiont. Creating
a queue logical, which causes DOCs to be generated for all files
printed through that queue, provides the second highest order of precedence. This example creates the following logical for the queue
MYQUEUE:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM QMS$MYQUEUE_QUEUE _$ "DATA_TYPE=post"
All files printed through MYQUEUE are automatically preceded with
DOCs which instruct the printer to route this job to the PostScript language interpreter.
If the DATA_TYPE parameter is also given on the command line, it
takes precedence over the DATA_TYPE given by the queue logical.
The Queue Logical Definition
Use the following queue logical to associate up to 20 parameters with
any queue. By using this logical, you can transparently append
PRINT parameters to existing generic queues.
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM QMS$queue_name_QUEUE _$ parameter,parameter,...
However, queue logicals take precedence over implied data types
based on generic queue names.
