Controlling System Activity

Using Printers 

Printers are the principal output device used by jobs, and they are
frequently used for output during sessions.  The system operator is
responsible for monitoring the printer, which consists of three main
tasks:

 *  Controlling the operation of the spooler (if the printer is spooled).
 *  Replacing paper, preventing (or fixing) paper jams, and unloading
    finished printouts.
 *  Responding to user's forms requests by mounting and adjusting new
    forms.

In addition, you may also determine whether to print header or trailer
data, which is controlled by the HEADOFF and HEADON commands.
