Printing output using IP PrintWay

Using IP PrintWay, you can:

• Print output data sets on a printer or a print server in your TCP/IP network.
• Print output data sets on a VTAM®-controlled printer.
• Send output data sets to an email destination.

To direct an output data set to IP PrintWay, you must specify one of these on the DD or OUTPUT JCL statement for the data set:

• The work-selection criteria that your administrator defined to JES for the IP PrintWay basic mode functional subsystem application (FSA)
• The job-selection criteria that your administrator defined in the Printer Inventory for IP PrintWay™ extended mode

For example, if your administrator customized IP PrintWay to select output data sets in output class P, specify class P on the DD or OUTPUT JCL statement for the data set. Ask your administrator for the appropriate selection values to specify.

If you use the Print Interface subsystem, your administrator can specify the selection values in the printer definition in the Printer Inventory. In this case you do not need to specify them in JCL. For example, if your administrator specifies class P as the output class in the printer definition, you do not need to specify class P on your OUTPUT statement.

To direct your output to a particular printer or email destination, you can use one of these methods, which are described in more detail in the next sections:

• Specify the name of the printer definition your administrator created for the printer or email destination.
• Specify the output class, destination name, or form name assigned to the printer definition.
• Specify the printer's IP address and either print queue name or port number.
