If the DATA_TYPE parameter is valid, have your system manager check that the TRN$* translator files listed in the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS Release Notes are in the correct location on your system and have WORLD:RE protection. Also have your system manager check process-related quotas and resources for the SYSTEM account, if your system is using multistreamed DCPS print symbionts.

UNKFILTAG, File tag is unknown. Tag value: number
Explanation: The file contains a DDIF stored_semantics tag that is not recognized by the DECprint Supervisor software.
User Action: You cannot print this type of file using DECprint Supervisor software.

UNKNOWN_DEFTRANS, data-type is not expected as a Default Translator, but it will be used
Explanation: The data type given by the logical DCPS$queuename_DEFAULT_TRANSLATOR as the default data type is not one that the DECprint Supervisor provides a translator for. The DECprint Supervisor software will attempt to find and use a translator for this data type.
User Action: This message is informational only; the print job is printed. The system manager should ensure that the data type is actually one that is desired. If so, ensure that a translator exists in the SYS$SHARE directory for such a data type. If not, correct the specification of the logical. The queue must be stopped (STOP/QUEUE/RESET) and started (START/QUEUE) for a new definition to take effect.

User Action: The system manager must redefine the logical name.

UNSUP_DEFTRANS, data-type is not supported as a Default Translator, ANSI will be used.
Explanation: The data type assumed by the DECprint Supervisor software as the default text data type is not valid. The DECprint Supervisor software will use ANSI as the default data type.
User Action: The system manager should correct the specification of the logical name DCPS$[queue-name]_DEFAULT_TRANSLATOR. The queue must be stopped (STOP/QUEUE/RESET) and started (START/QUEUE) for a new definition to take effect.

UNSUPTAG, File tagged as data_syntax will not be printed
Explanation: The file contains a DDIF stored_semantics tag that is not supported.
User Action: You cannot print this type of file using the DECprint Supervisor software.

UNSUP_USER_AUTOTYPE, data-type is not supported as an AUTOMATIC data type, assuming AUTOMATIC=ANSI
Explanation: The user's PRINT command, or the default queue parameter in the DCPS$STARTUP.COM command file, specifies the DATA_TYPE=AUTOMATIC=default-text-data-type parameter using an illegal value for default-text-data-type. Legal values are ANSI, PROPRINTER, and PCL.
User Action: If the error was in a PRINT command, resubmit the print job with one of the legal values for the DATA_TYPE=AUTOMATIC parameter.

If the error is in the queue definition, perform the following operations:

- To get the job printed quickly, resubmit the print job with the DATA_TYPE=AUTOMATIC parameter. This will override the queue default.
- To correct the default queue parameter:
  1. Edit the DCPS$STARTUP.COM file to modify the queue definition, including a valid default text data type.
  2. Stop the queue.
  3. Execute the DCPS$STARTUP.COM file.

USERDATA, string
Explanation: The PostScript program requested that the data represented by string be sent to the user, with the operators print, pstack, =, and :=,=.
User Action: None.

VMERROR, vmerror: PostScript virtual memory exhausted --- offending command is string
Explanation: The PostScript interpreter sensed an error while trying to execute the PostScript command represented by string.
