Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Installation Planning Guide F-9
4. Configure the printer in PSF/MVS
Follow these steps to configure the 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 printer in PSF.
(See the example below for the general format or the
Print
Services Facility for OS/390 Customization
for more
information.)
The table below contains descriptions of the PSF parameters
which need to be set for the printer.
