Responding to printer messages

The system operator and users can receive and display messages from system programs that communicate system conditions.

This function includes receiving messages about printing. Each printer has a Details: Message queues message queue. The printer can stop printing to wait for a response to a message. This allows the system operator to manage and report problems regarding the print devices.

To display printer messages for which a response is required, follow these steps:

1. To show the Work with Printers display, type WRKWTR ASTLVL (*BASIC) at the command line.

2. To display printer messages for which a response is required, select option 7 (Printer message).

3. In the reply field, type your response to the printer message.
