IP PrintWay extended mode fields
Table 1 lists the
fields in printer definitions (and the corresponding printer attributes)
that apply only to IP PrintWay™ extended
mode. IP PrintWay basic
mode ignores these fields. Table 1 describes
the changes that you might want to make in printer definitions when
you migrate to extended mode.
| ISPF panel field (attribute) | Description | Change required to printer definition |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic dataset grouping (automatic-dataset-grouping) | If this field is selected, IP PrintWay extended mode transmits all the data sets in the same JES output group to a printer in one transmission, or sends the data sets in the same email. This is an efficient method of transmitting data sets to a printer. However, it might not be suitable for some older printers. This field, if selected, overrides the option that is selected in the Dataset grouping field. For more information, see Transmitting multiple data sets in a JES output group. | Select this field for more efficient printing if your printer supports it. |
| Embedded headers (mail-embedded-headers) | If this field is selected, IP PrintWay extended mode examines line-data documents for an email header. If a header is found, it sends the email to the recipients in the header. | Select this field if any line-data documents can contain email headers. |
| Form feed (form-feed) | This field specifies the form-feed controls to add to text data to indicate the start of a new page. | Specify this field if the printer or print server requires form-feed characters other than X'0D0C' (carriage-return and form-feed controls). |
| Inline message (mail-inline-message) | This field specifies an optional message that
IP PrintWay extended mode
includes at the beginning of each email  on the
line after the optional Inline text attribute text
string . |
Specify the message text if you want to include a standard greeting or introductory paragraph. |
| Inline text attribute (mail-inline-text-attribute) |
This field specifies an optional text job attribute
that IP PrintWay extended
mode includes inline as a text string value at the beginning of each
email. |
Specify the text job attribute, such as name-text,
if you want to include a text string at the beginning of each email
before an inline message. For example, if name-text="Mr. Jones",
then Mr. Jones is included on the first line in the
email. |
| Inline text and line data (mail-inline-text) | If this field is selected, IP PrintWay extended mode includes text and line-data documents inline in the body of the email instead of in attachments. | Specify this field if you want text and line data included inline in the email. |
| Operator security profile (operator-security-profile) | This field contains the name of a RACF® profile that your security administrator defines. The RACF profile controls who can display information about and do actions on the printer with Infoprint Central. For more information, see Setting up operator security for the printer (extended mode). | Specify the name of the RACF profile for the printer if you use Infoprint Central. |
| Record pages printed for accounting (page-accounting) | If this field is selected, IP PrintWay extended mode records the number of printed pages in the SMF type 6 record. For more information, see Tracking the number of printed pages (extended mode). | Select this field for more accurate accounting information. The printer must support PJL and the direct sockets printing protocol. |
| Restart printing after last successful page (page-restart) | If this field is selected, IP PrintWay extended mode tells the printer to restart printing after the last page that the printer reported printed successfully. For more information, see Tracking the number of printed pages (extended mode). | Select this field to save paper and printing costs when IP PrintWay tries printing again. The printer must support PJL and the direct sockets printing protocol. |
