RE: configuring tally printer

Add an entry to the system reply list (ADDRPYLE) with the message ID,
the printer name as compare data and a G as the default reply.  Not sure
if the parm needs to be used for the start position - haven't had to
create one of these in quite a while.

Subject: configuring tally printer 

I have been attempting to configure a tally printer, using their
documentation but obviously something is going wrong.  This is a green
bar printer and the device description has the pritner setup for
continuous 132, however whenever a job is printed the job displays a
message waiting and wants you to load std paper.....which is already
loaded.

Any idea how to get rid of this annoying message?

 Message . . . . :   Load form type '*STD' device TALLY writer TALLY.
(G B 
I H 
   R 
C)

 

   
 Cause . . . . . :   The file on output queue TALLY in library QUSRSYS 
requires 
   form type '*STD' to be loaded on device TALLY. The form type for the 
file    
   was all blanks when '' appears as the form 
type.                             
 Possible choices for replying to 
message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :       
   G -- Begin processing the current file after loading the form 
type.          
   B -- Begin processing the current file after loading and aligning the

form   
     type (no alignment message is sent - same as option 1 on 
System/36).       
   I -- Ignore the request to load the form type.  Print the file on 
the        
     current formtype (same as option 0 on 
System/36).
