Configuration Procedure

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 214.

2.Modify the TCP/IP profile on your z/OS system, if necessary. See “Modify the TCP/IP Profile in z/OS” on page 214.

3.“Ping” the printer. See “Verify the Printer Connection” on page 217.

4.Define the printer as a writer-controlled printer to JES. See “Define the Printer to JES” on page 218.

5.Define the printer to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement, including the IP address. See “Define the Printer to PSF” on page 219.

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.
