Creating an IP PrintWay default printer definition

If a job submitter specifies the printer IP address on an OUTPUT JCL statement (in the DEST=IP: parameter), but does not specify a printer definition name in the FSSDATA parameter, IP PrintWay™ can use values specified in its default printer definition. The name of the IP PrintWay default printer definition is DFLTNTRY.

In the IP PrintWay default printer definition, you can specify default values that IP PrintWay uses if any of these OUTPUT JCL parameters are not specified on the OUTPUT JCL statement:

• RETAINF and RETAINS
• RETRYL and RETRYT
• PRTOPTNS

Infoprint Server creates a default printer definition if one does not already exist. If you want to use different default values, you can edit the default printer definition.

The default printer definition that Infoprint Server creates specifies these default values:

JCL Parameter

Default

RETAINS

0; IP PrintWay does not retain data sets on the JES spool after transmission is successful.

RETAINF

0; IP PrintWay does not retain data sets on the JES spool after transmission fails.

RETRYL

0; IP PrintWay does not retry unsuccessful transmissions.

RETRYT

0; IP PrintWay does not wait between each retry.

PRTOPTNS

IP PrintWay uses default values for all printer definition fields. For information about default values, see the ISPF field help.
