D.Defining the channel-attached printer to the host

This appendix contains some explanations and sample printer parameters for defining a channel-attached IPS printer to your host, in each PSF environment.

MVS parameters

This section gives examples of printer device parameters and definitions in the MVS mainframe environment using PSF/MVS.

Printer definitions for MVS versions earlier than 4.1.0

The following shows sample parameters for a channel-attached printer such as the IPS, in an MVS environment using versions earlier than 4.1.0.
