Select the options on the printer that are appropriate for the
environment. Step 1 - VTAM Definition
The following
should be added to the Local Major Node VTAM definition. The printer will
be attached as an LU1-IPDS capable printer.
LOC3174 VBUILD TYPE=LOCAL
LOCPU74 PU CUADDR=nnn...
LOC6500 LU
LOCADDR=n,MODETAB=MYMODETB,DLOGMODE=printer,ISTATUS=ACTIVE
The following entry should be placed in the VTAM MODE TABLE
specified above or another of your choice.
6500DSEL MODEENT LOGMODE=6500DSEL,
FMPROF=X'03',TSPROF=X'03',PRIPROT=X'B1',
SECPROT=X'20',COMPROT=X'3080',RUSIZES=X'C7C7',
PSERVIC=X'038000000000185018507F00'
PSNDPAC=X'00',SRCVPAC=X'00',SSNDPAC=X'00'
Step 2 - JES2 Definition (SYS1.PARMLIB)
RMT1 LUTYPE3,BUFSIZE=3840,LINE=1,NUMRD=0,NUMPR=1,NOCOMP,NOCMPCT,
SETUPHDR,CONSOLE
R1.PR1 CLASS=A,NOSEP,PRWIDTH=132,NOFCBLOD,WS=(W,R,Q,PMD,LIM,F,T/C,P),
CKTPAGE=30
DESTID NAME=LOC6500,DEST=R1
Step 3 - Define to CICS or another application program
Refer
to the vendor documentation for defining a DSE printer to the program for
its use. Host system commands to change printer settings are not supported
in DSE mode.
Step 4 - Printer Settings
It is recommended
that the following printer settings be changed from factory default settings:
- Printer Control => Interface Selection => Coax
- Coax Interface => Format Control => Enable
- Coax Interface => Early Print Complete => Enable
In LU3 mode the printer settings control the orientation, CPI,
LPI and all other aspects of the printed output. Therefore, you must set the
printer settings to match the characteristics of the job you are printing.
Host controls are not supported in this mode.
