Correcting for printer performance issues MVS, Mvs | Xerox 2060

Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment

		– The default MTU value in the printer is 2052. To change
		the MTU size for the printer, refer to the Sun network
		software documentation.
		– If these items are all in order, consult your network
		administrator about a possible network problem.
Correcting for printer performance issues – MVS

		Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g.,
		through-put speed degradation, check the areas listed in the
		following table.
		Table F-11.Components to check for printer performance problems

MVS		On the MVS system, ensure that both the PSF and TCP/IP address spaces are receiving
		a high level of service, are at a high dispatching priority, and their datasets and the JES2
		spool datasets are on DASD volumes that have low competing activity from other
		applications and from other DASD volumes on the same path.

Printer		Ensure that the Maximum Transmission Unit size (MTU) is as large as possible. A small
		MTU size increases the number of packets that are transmitted, allowing greater chances
		of degradation throughout the network. Increasing the MTU size in both TCP/IP for MVS
		and in the printer may improve printer performance.

LAN		If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other devices attached to it, the
		high levels of traffic on the LAN can cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving
		the printer to a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.

LAN-to-host		If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer attached to the MVS system is
attachment		slow, this could be a bottleneck. This could be a concern with any configuration in which
		the LAN-attached controller (i.e., 3745, 3172, or 3174) is not directly channel-attached to
		the host running PSF. This could occur in a Remote LAN configuration as discussed in the
		Network Configurations section, earlier in this chapter. Review your network configuration
		diagrams to look for any potential bottlenecks.
