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

Record width          The number of characters for eachrecord.  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.29parameters at connection establishment time to
                      determine the PAD's behavior.

profile?              PAD is set to default X.3 printer parameter values.

X.3 setting           Specifies whether changes to X.3 parametersmay be
requested             made after connection establishment.

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 ldevs and DTCs will be
                            affected by the change by pressing the [Assoc 
                            Ldevs] function key on the profile screen
                            corresponding to the profile you are
                            changing.  After pressing this key, you will
                            see a list of all ldevs using this profile in
                            the DTCs configured in DTS.
