3 Syntax as a command: restart arg

5
6 Function: used either to restart processing of the current request
7 after a device malfunction or to reprocess requests in the
8 coordinator's saved list.
9
10
11 Arguments:
12 N
13 is the number of the request to be restarted. The coordinator
14 searches its saved list for a matching request. If found, the
15 request will be re-processed ahead of any other requests, including
16 those from the "next" command. If the request had been saved in the
17 middle of a copy suspended, the request will be restarted
18 beginning at the top of the following page; a punch request will
19 start at the beginning of that copy.
20 -from N
21 specifies that all requests in the series beginning with request N
22 are to be restarted. This is an implicit save of all requests in
23 the series.

26 Notes: When the restart command is issued directly after a quit
27 signal, with no arguments, the driver's current request is restarted.
28 For print requests, the current page number, minus 5, and copy number
29 are displayed and the driver goes to request command level. For punch
30 requests, the number of copies completed if more than one is
31 displayed and the operator is asked to note how many were good.
32
33 The user is charged for the requested number of copies only, regardless
34 of how many copies were produced by this command.
35
36 If the request number series of a restarted request is still active,
37 the driver will be switched to another series. Each restarted request
38 is assigned a new request number, and any subsequent restart must be
39 based on the new request number.
