Defining the Printer to JES

When a TCP/IP-attached printer is to be used with JES, it must be defined for deferred printing mode with JES.

Below is an example of the JES2 printer definition initialization member, located in the system PARMLIB:

FSS(FSS1),PROC=PSFPROC,HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM
PRT1     FSS=FSS1,MODE=FSS,PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,SOSI1),
            CLASS=C,UCS=0,SEP,NOSEPDS,CKPTPAGE=100,
            DRAIN,MARK,TRKCELL=YES

The above example is correct for JES2 3.11 and above. For earlier versions of JES2, the statement is named FSSDEF and would be stated as FSSDEF FSSNAME=FSS1.

The value you specify for the PROC parameter must match the name on the PSF Startup procedure.
