DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE E-7
4. Configure the printer in PSF/MVS
Follow these steps to configure the IPS printer in PSF:
1. Locate the PSF startup procedure in the JES3 or JES2 startup
JCL procedure. This is normally kept in SYS1.PROCLIB,
although your system may use a different library.
The libraries specified by the //PROC00 DD statement normally
contains startup procedures for PSF subsystems. The name of
the procedure is specified in the initialization dataset (FSS
statement PROC parameter in JES2; the FSSDEF statement
PNAME parameter in JES3. See the appropriate section in this
appendix for clarification).
2. Add a PRINTDEV statement to define the IPS printer in PSF.
(See the example below for the general format or the PSF
Systems Programming Reference for more information.
The table below contains descriptions of the PSF parameters
which need to be set for the IPS printer.
