                        MODE (Display Device Status)
 
Displays the status of one or all of the devices installed on your system.
 
Syntax
 
    MODE [device] [/STATUS]
 
To display the status of all devices installed on your system, use the
following syntax:
 
    MODE
 
Parameter
 
device
    Specifies the name of the device for which you want to display the
    status.
 
Switch
 
/STATUS
    Requests the status of any redirected parallel printers. The MODE
    command, when used without this switch, displays the status of all
    installed devices except redirected parallel printers. You can
    abbreviate the /STATUS switch as /STA.
