The Optra Rt+ printer supports both the JIS and ISO standards for B5 paper sizes. DCPS handles the two B5 sizes as described in Section 19.10.1.

19.14 Lexmark Optra S

Lexmark Optra S printers can print paper sizes Otherenvelope and Universal. Otherenvelopetray (612 x 996) and Universal (612 x 1020) have different page sizes than Legal (612 x 1008). However, they have the same imageable area as Legal (600 x 996), so will be treated as the same size. Users wanting these sizes should specify PAGE_SIZE=LEGAL.

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: Companion Guide for Help Message Users for descriptions of other messages issued by the OpenVMS operating system or use the online help message utility with the command HELP /MESSAGE.

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: Companion Guide for Help Message Users for the message description or use the online help message utility with the command HELP /MESSAGE.

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: 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.
