PAD Printer Profile (Host-Based) 

The PAD Printer Profile screen, as shown in Figure 7-9  is used to
define the characteristics associated with a PAD printer profile.This
profile screen is used for host-based management only.  For PC-based
management, you should use the regular PC-based Printer Profile screen
shown in Figure 7-7  for PAD printers.

Printer type file     A printer type filecreated with the Workstation
name                  Configurator utility (TTUTIL.PUB.SYS,to be
                      associated with the profile instead of the

                      information on TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.

Record width          The number of characters for each record.For HP
                      terminals, the record width is usually 132 (the
                      width of the line).

Initially spooled?    Specifies whether the printer will be initially
                      spooled.

NLIO device?          Specifies whether native language devices will be
                      used.

PAD test requested?   Specifies whether the DTC will set and read several
                      X.29 parametersat connection establishment time to
                      determine the PAD's behavior.

Device class names    Device classesprovide a means of accessing devices
                      associated with a profile.  Each device class name
                      is up to eight alphanumeric characters beginning
                      with a letter.

                      Up to 450 device class names may be used for a
                      printer profile; the total number of supported,
                      configured device classes defined in all profiles
                      is 1000.  Use the [Go To CLASSES] key to go to an
                      Additional Device Class Names screen for entering
                      additional device class names.


NOTE  If you are changing profile characteristics, you can see which
