TCP/IP TN3270E Printing

Configuring the
Mainframe host
The following procedures describe how to configure the AXIS
5570e/AXIS 5670e for SCS, 3270DS and IPDS printing, using TCP/IP
TN3270E.
This is achieved by establishing communication between the AXIS
5570e/AXIS 5670e and Mainframe host via a TN3270E server, using
the TCP/IP transport protocol for the SCS, 3270 and IPDS data
streams, as illustrated below:
AXIS Print server
IPDS is only available for print server models with the IPDS option installed.
Please refer to Product Model Summary, on page 9
Configuring for TN3270E printing is described in four separate stages:
• Configuring the IBM Mainframe Host system
• Configuring the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e
• Configuring the TN3270E server
• Verifying the communication
Consult your TN3270E server documentation and make sure that the
appropriate VTAM host system definitions are set up for
mainframe-to-TN3270E server SNA communication.
