Printer symbiont This is the mainline interface that handles communication between the job controller and the device/file dependent modules of the symbiont. Error handling is also provided in this module. (Also known as the Symbiont Manager Interface module) Six routines are required in the Device/File Interface module: SMB_DFI_INIT - symbiont specific startup procedure SMB_DFI_DEVICE_INIT - perform device initialization SMB_DFI_PROCESS_FILE - perform file processing/printing SMB_DFI_ABORT - perform device specific abort procedures SMB_DFI_CLEANUP - perfrom file specific abort procedures SMB_DFI_RESUME_TOF - rewind file and resume printing Imagen Symbiont Device/File Interface Module Called by Symbiont Manager Interface module to read in and conditionally process (impress) files and ship the text to the Packet Communications module.
