With PADM AC you can activate confirmation mode for one printer in the printer control LTERM or for all printers in a printer control LTERM. The print control function no longer runs automatically when in confirmation mode. openUTM does not delete the associated print job from the queue until a PADM OK call is stored for this printer.
PADM AT switches off the confirmation mode. Print output once again runs in automatic mode.
In UTM cluster applications, the change of confirmation mode applies globally to the cluster.
If PADM AT/AC is to operate on a specific printer, then you must specify the printer ID of that printer in the kcrn field. If the call is to apply for all printers in the printer control LTERM, you must enter blanks in kcrn.
Confirmation mode remains activated or deactivated beyond the termination of the current application.
When deactivating the confirmation mode, please note that any print output started while still in confirmation mode but not actually confirmed before the function was deactivated will still have to be confirmed in automatic mode. In other words, openUTM does not deal with subsequent print jobs for a given printer until a PADM OK has been issued.
