Enabling Print Labeling

PSF supports print labeling in two ways:

Guaranteed print labeling

Guaranteed print labeling ensures the integrity of the identification label by preventing the user from changing the label. (See Printer Support in PSF for information about determining whether a printer supports guaranteed print labeling.) Ensure that the RACF® option PSFMPL is set according to Figure 13.

Nonguaranteed print labeling

Printers that do not support guaranteed print labeling can still print identification labels, but the integrity of the labels cannot be guaranteed. For nonguaranteed print labeling, you must:

1. Define the valid security labels to RACF as described in the z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator’s Guide.
2. Activate security label checking through TSO commands as in Figure 12.

In addition, the RACF parameters shown in Figure 13 are optional for nonguaranteed print labeling. Other parameters in the PSF startup procedure are used to enable nonguaranteed print labeling. For more information, see Updating Initialization Parameters.
