Configuring PSF for z/OS to Print IPDS Files
To perform this procedure, you need the IP address of the
Ethernet.
Configuration Procedure
Configuring PSF to print IPDS files includes the following steps:
1. Define the z/OS communications control unit to z/OS. See
“Define the Communications Control Unit to z/OS” on page
128.
2. Modify the TCP/IP profile on your z/OS system, if necessary.
See “Modify the TCP/IP Profile in z/OS” on page 128.
3. “
Ping
” the printer. See “Verify the Printer Connection” on page
131.
4. Define the printer as a writer-controlled printer to JES. See
“Define the Printer to JES” on page 132.
5. Define the printer to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement,
including the IP address. See “Define the Printer to PSF” on
page 133.
This section does not provide all the information you need to install
and configure TCP/IP on your z/OS system. For more information
on installing TCP/IP, refer to
TCP/IP for z/OS: Customization and
Administration Guide
.
The routing of information is determined on the basis of the IP
address, and is performed by IP gateways. After the network is
configured correctly, the z/OS host appears to be communicating
directly with the TCP/IP-attached printer.
