Starting and Stopping
the PSF/MVS Printer
When operating the Axis Network Print Server when emulating a TCP/IP
attached IPDS printer, you should use JES operator commands, just as if
the printer were channel-attached or SNA-attached.
Starting the Printer
To start a TCP/IP-attached printer, do the following:
1. Start TCP/IP.
2. Power on the printer(s).
3. Power on the Axis Network Print Server.
4. Start the printer FSA as indicated below.
Before starting a PSF FSS, you must have a cataloged startup procedure
in SYS1.PROCLIB or any other system procedure library. This procedure
specifies PSF initialization parameters and libraries that contain system
and installation resources. The name of this procedure can be specified in
the FSSDEF statement of the JES initialization deck. If the name is
omitted, JES3 supplies a default name, that is chosen for the defined
printer.
When you install PSF, you must create or update the required libraries
referenced by the startup procedure, and you should consider any need to
increase the region size, as specified in the EXEC statement, to
accommodate resources and an increased number of printer FSAs. The
startup procedure can also specify defaults that cannot be set with JES
initialization statements for printer FSA definitions.
Stopping the Printer
You can stop a TCP/IP-attached printer in several ways but this is the
recommended method:
Stop the PSF FSA for the printer by entering the following command
from the MVS console.
JES2:
JES3:
You can now disconnect the Power Adapter from the Axis Network Print
Server.
$Pprinter-name
*VARY printer-name, OFF
*CANCEL printer-name
The variable
printer-name
specifies the name of the printer FSA as defined in
JES
definitions,
