Flags
You can use these flags with the pddeviceop command:
- -Hhost:port
-
Identifies the host and port of the InfoPrint Manager server used for communication. When not specified, the command follows the Configuration logic to define the host and socket.
- -c destination
- Specifies the operation class of destination that represents an actual destination. This is the only allowed class.
Using this flag is equivalent to specifying the command attribute operation-class.
- -m "Message Text"
- Specifies the message you want associated with the destination. You can use this
message to describe the device operation you are performing on the destination or
to provide any other comments.
If you do not specify the -m flag, the message already stored with the object remains unchanged.
You can list this message by specifying requested-attributes=message with the pdls command. Using this flag is equivalent to specifying the command attribute message.
- -t {online | offline | reset | lock-op-panel | unlock-op-panel} [-x "attribute=value"
- Specifies the type of device operation you want performed:
- offline
- online
- reset
- lock-op-panel
- unlock-op-panel
-x"attribute=value"
- Consists of a single attribute string, containing one or more attribute-value pairs.
- -X AttributeFileName
- Specifies the name of a file containing attribute and value pairs that you want InfoPrint to insert at the current point in the command. Using this flag is equivalent to specifying the command attribute attributes.
- -h
- Displays a command-specific help message containing information about command syntax and flags. If you use this flag with any other flag or attribute, InfoPrint recognizes only the -h flag.
Configuration logic
The command determines which server host and server port to use based on this sequence:
- Server host and server port specified with the -H parameter.
- Server host and server port specified with the PDHOST and PD_SOCKET envirnonment variables.
- Uses the defaults for PDHOST=localhost and PD_SOCKET=6874.
