When you use the IP PrintWay component
of Infoprint
Server to
print the jobs that Infoprint XT generates,
you create a second printer definition, in addition to the PSF for z/OS printer
definition. For creating the IP PrintWay printer
definition and its Allocation section, see z/OS Infoprint Server Operation and Administration.
Then follow these steps to complete an IP PrintWay printer
definition:
- Update the Custom values information for
the Processing section:
- Position the cursor in the Custom values column,
and press Enter. You see the Processing panel.
- In the Printer code page field, delete
any value that is present, so that the field has no value.
- To determine whether you want to specify additional options, see
the Infoprint
Server documentation
for information about the other fields. Infoprint XT requires
no other information.
- Use the appropriate function key to save the processing information,
close the panel and the Component List panel,
and return to the IP PrintWay Printer
definition panel.
- Update the Custom values information for
the IP PrintWay options section:
- Position the cursor in the Custom value field,
and press Enter. You see the IP PrintWay Options
panel.
- In the Formatting field, enter 1.
This prevents IP PrintWay from
attempting EBCDIC or ASCII translations, which can adversely affect
the input data stream.
- Use the appropriate function key to save the option information,
close the panel, and return to the IP PrintWay Printer
definition panel.
- Update the Custom values information for
the Protocol section:
- Position the cursor in the Custom values field,
and press Enter. You see the LPR Protocol panel.
You must make several entries on this panel.
- In the Printer IP address field, enter
the IP address of the z/OS system
on which the PSF for z/OS printer
definition resides. This is the printer definition that you created
with the procedure described in Creating a PSF for z/OS printer definition with routing information.
- In the Print queue name field, enter the
name of the PSF for z/OS printer
definition.
- By default the Printer banner page option
is active, as indicated by the slash to the left of the option. You
must turn this option off, when you use this printer definition with Infoprint XT.
- In the LPR Processing Options: Mode field,
enter 4 for Remote PSF.
Note: You must enter the IP address and queue name information.
If you do not, z/OS issues
an error message when you try to return from the LPR Protocol panel.
- Select the Use DEST, CLASS, and FORMS for IP PrintWay printer
selection option.
