Defining the
printer to PSF
Each Axis Network Print Server must be defined to PSF with a PRINTDEV
statement in the PSF startup procedure. The following keywords are
required on the PRINTDEV statement:
•
IPADDR='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
•
PORTNO='xxxx'
The IPADDR parameter specifies the IP address of the Axis Network Print
Server in dotted-decimal notation.
Note:
The PORTNO keyword specifies the TCP/IP port to use for the print
session. This port number must match the port number set up for the Axis
Network Print Server in
Configuring the Axis Network Print Server,
on
page 42.
Below is a sample procedure,
APSWPROT
, which you can modify to suit
your installation. The
PRINTDEV
statement includes the required
IPADDR
and
PORTNO
keywords. In the
PRINTDEV
example below, the TCP/IP port
number 5100 is used, but any port, larger that 1024, can be used as long
as the same port is set up in the Axis Network Print Server.
The
APSWPROT
procedure contains JCL parameters to produce a startup
procedure for either 240-pel and 300-pel printers, but the references to
300-pel resolution are commented out. To create separate startup
procedures, make two copies of
APSWPROT
, and then follow the
commented instructions in
APSWPROT
. Keep one unchanged copy as your
startup procedure for a resolution of 120 or 240 pels. In the second copy,
delete or comment out all references to 240-pel resolution, and make all
references to 300-pel resolution active. This changed copy is your startup
procedure for 300-pel resolution.
If you want to print both 240-pel and 300-pel AFP/IPDS jobs, create two
Device Statement
Explanation
JUNIT
Specifies:
1. The device address (host-connected, channel-attached, non-SNA printers
only). Do not specify a device address for the Axis Network Print Server when
using TCP/IP attachment.
2. The name of the processor to which the device is attached
3. A destination class for messages about the device
4 .Whether the device is initially online or offline
This parameter is required.
MODE
Specifies that the printer is managed by an FSS. This parameter is required.
PM
Specifies which data-set processing mode is supported. For the Axis Network
Print Server attached to Postscript printers, the correct setting is
PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,)
, indicating that composed-page and line data
sets can be printed.
WC
Specifies the print output class that the printer is to process. You may want to
consider handling disabled mechanisms by defining print classes.
Do not specify a host name in place of the dotted-decimal address.
