Creating an IP PrintWay printer definition for the VTAM protocol

This section shows how to fill in Infoprint Server ISPF panels to create a printer definition for a VTAM-controlled printer that accepts the SCS data stream, for example, an InfoPrint 40 printer. IP PrintWay™ uses the VTAM® protocol to transmit data to this printer. This printer definition contains values used by Print Interface and IP PrintWay.

Job submitters can print on this printer by specifying myscsprinter as the name of the print queue or printer definition. JCL users can also print on this printer by specifying CLASS=K and DEST=MYSCSPRT on an OUTPUT JCL statement.

Values in the sample printer definitions are shown in either normal or bold text:

• Normal text indicates either a default value or a value that is specified in an included component. Default values and values from the component are displayed automatically in the ISPF panels.
• Bold text indicates a value that you must explicitly specify in the printer definition.

This panel includes the Allocation, Processing, and IP PrintWay Options components that were created in the previous examples. The asterisks next to the Allocation and Protocol sections of the printer definition indicate that one or more fields in these sections contain values that are explicitly specified in this printer definition.
