Click an option you want to learn more about.
Displays the name of the LPD queue you are configuring.
A UNIX An operating system for workstations developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories that features multiprogramming in a multiuser environment. host expects the LPD file it is receiving to contain one of the LPR control file commands described here. With BHCS, these commands can be defined to represent any type of data that BHCS knows how to receive.
Use the LPR commands list to select the type of file being received from LPR. The most common text-defined LPR command is formatted text (f) and pr format (p). Binary (raw) data is usually defined with verbatim (v).
We recommend configuring
a <Default> LPR command. If a file is received that contains a command
that is not defined and you do not have a default command, the file will
be received as Binary (raw).

If Ignore control file is not selected, the file will be processed according to the command specified in the control file (assuming that the specified command is defined).
The options under Document attributes are used to manage a list of fields in the header. LPD sets these fields to specified values before sending a copy of each file to the spool.
