This appendix describes system messages issued by the DECprint Supervisor software. These messages are identified by a facility code of DCPS. Refer to the OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual for descriptions of other messages issued by the OpenVMS operating system.

This appendix includes the following sections:

• System message overview, Section A.1
• Message descriptions, Section A.2
• Layup definition (BADLAYDEF) messages, Section A.3

DECprint Supervisor system messages are classified into two categories based on their destination. Some messages are sent to the system operator, others go to the user.

To receive user messages, use the /NOTIFY qualifier with the PRINT command. The messages are sent in response to your print request and in response to system conditions that affect your print request.

To receive operator messages, you need operator (OPER) privileges and must execute the REPLY/ENABLE=PRINTER command. You then receive the operator messages that apply to your host system.

DECprint Supervisor system messages have one of the following formats:

%fac-s-ident, text
-fac-s-ident, text

Code	Meaning
%	The prefix for all primary messages
-	The prefix for all continuation messages
fac	The facility code, which should be DCPS
s	The severity level of the message
ident	An abbreviation of the message text
text	The expanded text of the message

A.1.2 Severity Level

The severity levels of DECprint Supervisor system messages are defined as follows:

Code	Meaning
S	Success --- successful completion of the request
I	Informational --- may require user action
W	Warning --- request may not have completed and may require user action
E	Error --- system encountered an error that may be recoverable
F	Fatal --- system encountered a fatal error and cannot continue processing this request

A.2 Message Descriptions

The following messages are alphabetized by the ident portion of the messages, ignoring any underscores ("_") that may be present. The message prefix, facility designation, and severity code are not shown. If the facility designation is other than DCPS, refer to the OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual for the message description.

If the User Action for a message calls for submitting an SPR (Software Performance Report), refer to Introduction to OpenVMS System Management for instructions.

BAD_DATATYPE, Unexpected data type data-type at line n in DCPS$FILE_EXTENSION_DATA_TYPE file
Explanation: A data type given in the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$FILE_EXTENSION_DATA_TYPE.DAT[_DEFAULT] was not expected. There will be no attempt to match the file extension to a data type.
User Action: The system manager should correct the problem data type in the file. The queue must be stopped (STOP/QUEUE/RESET) and started (START/QUEUE) for a new file to be read.

BADLIBNAM_IGNOR, Bad library name library-name; ignored
Explanation: The print symbiont either did not find library-name in your library search list, or the syntax for the library was not correct.
User Action: Check the list of device control libraries defined in the search list in the printer startup file, SYS$STARTUP:DCPS$STARTUP.COM. Ensure that the libraries specified are in the SYS$LIBRARY directory.

BAD_LIBRARY_NAME, Bad library name library-name; used qualified-library-specification

Explanation: The syntax of the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$FILE_EXTENSION_DATA_TYPE.DAT[_DEFAULT] was not as expected. A comma (,) or colon (;) is expected to follow a file extension. There will be no attempt to match any file extension to a data type.
User Action: The system manager should correct the problem punctuation in the file. The queue must be stopped (STOP/QUEUE/RESET) and started (START/QUEUE) for a new file to be read.

BAD_PUNCTUATION_READDEF, Unexpected punctuation following a data type punctuation at line n in DCPS$FILE_EXTENSION_DATA_TYPE file
Explanation: The syntax of the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCPS$FILE_EXTENSION_DATA_TYPE.DAT[_DEFAULT] was not as expected. There will be no attempt to match any file extension to a data type.

FLUSHING, Rest of job (to EOJ) will be ignored
Explanation: An error or some other event caused the PostScript interpreter to ignore the rest of the job. This message is preceded by informational messages about the reason the job was aborted.
User Action: Check the other messages returned.

FONTNOTFOUND, Font font-name not found
Explanation: The font setup module specified by /PARAMETERS=FONTS_USED is not in the font library.

IPHOSTUNKNOWN, unknown or invalid internet host
Explanation: The printer's internet host name is unknown or invalid.
User Action: Check that you have specified the correct host name. If it is correct, see if the ping internet host utility can communicate with the printer. You may have a problem with your network or name server. If the problem has occurred since your system was rebooted, ensure that the DCPS$STARTUP.COM procedure has commands to initialize the associated DCPS queue, and that DCPS$STARTUP.COM will run whenever your system reboots.
