Attaching Printer to VM Host System
Step 3 - Define to CICS or another application program
Host commands for changing printer settings are not supported in this mode.
Refer to the vendor documentation for defining an DSC printer to the program
for its use.
Step 4 - Printer Settings
It is recommended that the following printer settings be changed from factory
default setting:
•
Printer Control => Interface Selection => Coax
•
Coax Interface => Format Control => Enable
•
Coax Interface => Early Print Complete => Enable
In LU0 mode the printer settings control the orientation, CPI, LPI and all other
aspects of the printed output. Therefore, you must set the printer settings to
match the characteristics of the job you are printing. Host controls are not
supported in this mode.
Attaching Printer to VM Host System
Below are sample execs you can read in order to help you to understand how
to attach this printer to a VM host system:
SNA Attachment
Sample exec file for attaching with SNA protocols:
/* Signal JUST_VM */
’CP SMSG VTAMOPX F NET,DEFAULTS,ID=LS6C004,DLOGMOD=LU1PRT’
/* ’CP SMSG VTAMOPX F NET,DEFAULTS,ID=LS6C004,DLOGMOD=LU3PRT’
*/
pull upper pause
’SMSG RSCSCOAX STOP SNA6C004’
’SMSG RSCSCOAX DELET SNA6C004’
’SMSG RSCSCOAX DEFINE SNA6C004 LUNAME LS6C004 TYPE SNA3270P’
/* ’SMSG RSCSCOAX DEFINE SNA6C004 PARM VFC=YES SEP=YES
