Editing printer definitions to specify AFP options

To edit printer definitions, you can use either Infoprint Server ISPF panels or the Printer Inventory Definition Utility (PIDU) program. This topic describes how to use the ISPF panels. For information about the PIDU program, see "Using the PIDU program to manage the Printer Inventory" in z/OS Infoprint Server Operation and Administration.

Use the Infoprint Server ISPF panels to edit the printer definition for a printer or email destination. On the Allocation panel, specify any of these fields:

• Carriage control type
• Character sets
• Duplex
• Form definition
• Image shift x-direction back, Image shift x-direction front, Image shift y-direction back, Image shift y-direction front
• Input tray
• Output bin
• Overlay back, Overlay front
• Page definition
• Resource directories
• Resource library
• Table reference characters

For information about the Allocation fields, see Specifying AFP resources and resource libraries.
