Printer and Plotter Queues

To output listings and hard copies of plots a number of devices can be used. These can be used through a number of system queues which spool the output to the appropriate devices. The majority of these printers are PostScript compatible. Printer are listed at URL http://www.eso.org/it/printers.html.

To print the log of the MIDAS session the PRINT/LOG command is used. This command will produce the output on printers, most of which are located in the User room.

Hardcopies of plots are made using the COPY/GRAPH and the PLOT commands (see Chapter 6). The first parameter of the ASSIGN/GRAPH command specifies the plotting queue/device to be used. The help command in MIDAS can be used to get an up to date list of output devices.
