Microfilm device considerations

With PSF, you can use the same data set for printing jobs on paper output or on microfilm. You specify the COMSETUP parameter in your JCL to transfer microfilm setup resource data to the microfilm device for processing (see Specifying JCL parameters for microfilm jobs); otherwise the host default setup resource that your system programmer created will be used, and your output might not appear as you expected. For information about creating a microfilm setup resource, see PSF for z/OS: Customization.

This topic presents considerations for when you are creating a microfilm job both for printing to paper and for sending to microfilm devices.
