### BIDI_STARTJOB(2h)

BIDI_STARTJOB(2h) is called by the port driver during SplPdOpen to signal the protocol converter that the print job is starting. The port driver should use the pPrtOpenStruct parameter in SplPdOpen to derive the parameters for this command.

Note: The caller of PrtSet can set the following parameters in the PRTSTARTJOB data structure:

ulSpoolerJobID - set to -1

ulInterpreterID - set to -1

This will let the spooler fill in the values based on the current job being sent to this printer port.
