EZ-SPOOL Sample Config File

MENU=ON

TYPE=ON

ASKPRT=ON

DEFAULT=JET

PRTSPL=JET,System LaserJet

PRTSPL=DRAFT,Oki draft

 

[jack]

MENU=OFF

TYPE=OFF

ASKPRT=OFF

DEFAULT=JET2

 

In this case, for all users but “jack”, the MENU, TYPE, and ASKPRT options will be ON, the default printer will be JET, and a menu will be displayed showing the JET and DRAFT printer choices. However, if the user is “jack”, there will be no menu, and the only effect of the configuration file processing will be to set the spooler name to JET2 if no spooler was specified in the XCALL SPOOL.

The configuration file is processed from the top down, and any statements which are not part of a [<username>] section are processed for all users. (The top section may also be given the heading [always].) Statements within a specific [<username>] section may then override prior statements in the top or [always] section.

This capability of adding sections for individual users allows a great deal of flexibility for large systems, but is not supported under the AMOS version of EZ-SPOOL.
