Infoprint Server provides a reliable, high availability, secu-
rity-rich and scalable foundation for customer’s enterprise
printing infrastructure. Infoprint Server and its compan-
ion product, Infoprint Server Transforms, include a print
interface, printer inventory, application output capture
program, and print drivers and management tools that let
you manage any print job to any printer defi ned to Infoprint
Server, including electronic distribution for presentation
over the Web.
Infoprint Central
Infoprint Central is a Web-based, GUI for managing print
jobs and printers throughout the enterprise from anywhere
in the enterprise using a Web browser. Intended primar-
ily for help desk operators, it lets users query the status
of jobs and printers, see job and printer messages, stop
and start printers, move jobs from one printer to another,
cancel or hold jobs, and many other functions. Infoprint
Central can use integrated z/OS security services so that
users can be authorized to perform only certain tasks, or
to perform tasks only on designated devices.
IP PrintWay extended mode: Infoprint Central is backed
by a new architecture in the component that delivers print
or e-mail output to printers, servers or users over TCP/IP
or Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IP PrintWay extended
mode uses the SYSOUT Application Programming Inter-
face (SAPI) to access print jobs and job information from
the JES spool. The advantage of this change can be
higher availability and throughput, more fl exibility for han-
dling print-related tasks, and scalability of Infoprint Server
for very large distributed print environments.
Common message log: A new common message log helps
to improve productivity of help desk operators for print
problem diagnosis and resolution, thus helping to increase
system availability and user satisfaction. Messages can
easily be accessed from Infoprint Central for a particular
job or printer.
These capabilities give you the fl exibility to deliver output
on demand, anywhere you need it:
• Legacy CICS and IMS applications that generate SNA
Character String (SCS) or 3270 output formats can print
to LAN-attached PCL printers, without changes to the
application program
• Output can be sent as e-mail instead of, or in addition to
print
• A consolidated printer inventory lets you defi ne all print-
ers used with Infoprint Server, and printers driven by
Print Services Facility (PSF) in one place. Printers can
be defi ned and modifi ed from a single easy-to-use inter-
face.
• IP PrintWay provides support for printers attached to the
network using TCP/IP, VTAM
®
-controlled coax printers,
and for printers and servers over the Internet using the
industry-standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Easy
to use ISPF menus also enable management of distrib-
uted printers.
