5 PSF/MVS AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides information on how to create MVS definitions for printing
from PSF/MVS via TCP/IP. The following topics are addressed:
JES printer statements
PSF Startup procedure
Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of
the PrintServer (equipped with an IPDS DIMM) has been completed, direct AFP /
IPDS from PSF / MVS will be possible.
Requirements:
• PSF/MVS version 2 Release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.
• MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 which supports the PRINTDEV IPADDR and
PORTNO keywords.
• IBM TCP/IP Version 3 Release 1, or higher, installed and configured on
MVS.
Co-requisite supported TCP/IP controller is also required (e.g. IBM 3172).
MTU size:
• The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the IP packet for the MVS
system is recommended to be set up to 2000.
Note: The MTU size should not exceed the maximum size sent through the
control unit. Failure may lead to transmission problems.
