Infoprint Server consists of several components that support printing
on a z/OS® system:
- Print Interface
- This component accepts print requests from z/OS UNIX System
Services and remote systems in your IP network. It allocates output
data sets on the JES2 or JES3 spool for printing.
- NetSpool
- This component receives print output from VTAM® applications and allocates output data
sets on the JES2 or JES3 spool for printing.
- Transform Manager
- This component calls separate IBM® transform
products to transform data to and from Advanced Function Presentation
(AFP) format. For example, IBM transform
products can transform PCL, PDF, PostScript,
SAP R/3, and Xerox data to AFP format, and can transform AFP data
to PCL, PDF, and PostScript format.
- IP PrintWay™
- This component sends output data from the JES2 or JES3 spool to
remote printers or print servers in your IP or SNA network. IP PrintWay can also send output
data to email destinations. You can run IP PrintWay in basic or extended mode. In extended
mode, IP PrintWay provides
better performance, improved usability, and more function.
- Infoprint Central
- This component is a web application that lets help desk operators
and other authorized users work with print jobs on the JES spool,
printers controlled by IP PrintWay extended
mode or PSF, and NetSpool logical units. It also lets users see Infoprint
Server system status and printer definitions in the Infoprint Server
Printer Inventory.
- Infoprint Port Monitor for Windows
- This component sends documents and job attributes from Windows systems to Infoprint Server
for printing on any printers that are defined in the Infoprint Server
Printer Inventory.
