Adding multiple printer definitions

To add more than one printer definition of the same type (IP PrintWay™, PSF, or General) at the same time:

  1. Follow the instructions described in Adding a printer definition or Copying a printer definition, and fill in the fields for the first printer definition.

    _______________________________________________________

  2. To save the printer definition, type SAVE on the command line and press Enter. The printer definition panel remains on your screen. You can type SAVE from any of the printer definition panels.

    _______________________________________________________

  3. Fill in the fields for the second printer definition. Specify a new printer definition name and change any other values.
    Tip:
    You do not need to return to the main printer definition panel to change the name of the printer definition. Specify the new name in the Printer definition name field that is displayed at the top of each printer definition panel.

    _______________________________________________________

  4. Type SAVE on the command line to save the second printer definition, and repeat these steps.

    _______________________________________________________

Tip:
You can also use the Printer Inventory Definition Utility (PIDU) program to add many printer definitions at one time. First use the ISPF panels to create one printer definition of the desired type and protocol. Then use the PIDU export command to generate a PIDU create command for that printer definition. Replicate and edit the create command to create other printer definitions. For detailed information and examples, see Using the PIDU program to manage the Printer Inventory.
