Re: Abnormal writer end

Thanks for the link. I will show this page to the Lexmark printer guru. But, also in the joblog as explanation for the reason code was that the printer was turned off and on while printing.

These printers use port 9100 while printing from other systems. They were originally set up as remote output queues as they are multifunction devices. When thry are scanning, faxing, or copying, they discard output sent via remote output queue (I think that is port 515). Having the writer end, seemingly at random, is not good. But, better than output being dropped.

A writer ended. The joblog has this: CPD 337A reason code 3426.

The printer is a device, with messages set to *INFO instead of *INQ.

Nothing else in the joblog, such as an unanswered message or a message
that had a C supplied.

Is this behavior a consequence of having messages set to *INFO instead of
*INQ?

Is there some way to keep the writer running - or have it restart
aumatically when this happens?

The alternative of *INQ won't work well as computer operator rarely
observes messages. Doing other things.

Thanks.
