Using a Windows application

To print from a Windows application, use the print function that the application provides and select the Windows printer that you defined in Adding a z/OS printer to your Windows system.

If you are using the Infoprint Port Monitor and selected Prompt for attributes when printing when you customized the Infoprint Port Monitor, you see the Infoprint Server Options window. (If the Infoprint Port Monitor is busy transmitting a file or if your Windows system is busy, you might not see this window immediately.) In the Job Attributes field, you can add any of the attributes that are described in Using job attributes, or change any of the default attributes that you entered when you added the printer.

For example, if you want to print three copies of this file on one side of the paper, change the Job Attributes field to:

copies=3 duplex=no

Only AFP printers support the duplex attribute. Some IPP-enabled printers do not support the copies attribute. If you send the file to an email destination, only one copy is sent.

Note: If the Windows printer is defined as a shared printer, do not select the Prompt for attributes when printing option because the Infoprint Server Options window is displayed only on the Windows system where the Infoprint Port Monitor is installed.
