| Data format (document-formats-supported) | This field lets you specify the types of data
formats that the printer accepts or that can be transformed to a format
the printer accepts. IP PrintWay extended
mode validates that the format of the input data stream is one of
the supported types. This field also applies to IP PrintWay basic mode, but only
when the Resubmit for filtering option is selected.
For more information, see Validating that data sets can print as requested. | Select all the data formats that IP PrintWay should accept. |
| Duplex supported (duplexes-supported) | This field specifies whether the printer can
print in duplex. IP PrintWay extended
mode validates that the printer supports the duplexing option specified
in the DUPLEX parameter on the OUTPUT JCL statement. This field also
applies to IP PrintWay basic
mode, but only when the Resubmit for filtering option
is selected. For more information, see Validating that data sets can print as requested. | Select all the duplex options that IP PrintWay should accept. |
| Line termination (line-termination) | The default line-termination controls for IP PrintWay extended mode are different
from those in basic mode. The defaults, in EBCDIC, are:
IP PrintWay basic mode:
- LPR, direct sockets, IPP: X'25' (line-feed)
- VTAM®, email: X'0D15' (carriage-return,
new-line)
IP PrintWay extended
mode:
- LPR (ASCII printer code page), direct sockets, IPP: X'0D15'
- LPR (EBCDIC printer code page): X'0D25'
- VTAM, email: X'0D15'
In addition, IP PrintWay extended
mode uses the printer code page (Printer code page field)
to translate the line-termination controls from EBCDIC to ASCII, while
IP PrintWay basic mode uses
a hard-coded translate table. | If the Line termination field
contains 0D25 or 25 and the Printer
code page field contains ISO8859-1, leave the Line termination field blank so that IP PrintWay extended mode uses
the default value. This is because code page ISO8859-1 translates
EBCDIC X'25' to ASCII X'85', which can cause data
to not print correctly. |
| Location (location) | This field lets you specify the location of
the printer. This field is especially useful when you run IP PrintWay extended mode because Infoprint Central
users can find printers to work with by specifying the printer location.
For more information, see Specifying a printer definition name, description, and location. | Specify the location of the printer. |
| Response timeout (response-timeout) | This field specifies how long IP PrintWay waits for a response
from the printer before resending data to the printer if retries are
requested. You might want to specify a higher timeout value in this
field when you run IP PrintWay extended
mode. This is because a higher timeout value gives the operator more
time to correct a printer problem, and IP PrintWay extended mode can print to other printers
while it waits for a response from a printer. The IP PrintWay basic mode FSA cannot
print to other printers while it waits for a response from one printer,
so you should typically specify a lower timeout value when you run
IP PrintWay basic mode.
For more information, see Handling unsuccessful data transmissions. | Specify a higher timeout value when you run
IP PrintWay extended mode. |
