9 SCS/DCA printing using
TN3270e/TN5250e
This chapter provides examples of how to set up SCS/DCA printing using TN3270e
and TN5250e protocols.
9.1 TN3270e setup using OS/390 communication
server
The IBM OS/390 ver. 2.8 is capable of supporting TN3270e sessions communicating
directly. The following describes the required mainframe definitions for a LinkCom
or DocOut. It is assumed that the TN3270e service is already active on the
mainframe.
9.1.1

Mainframe TCPIP profile definitions:

PRTGROUP PRTGRP1
ENDPRTGROUP
IPGROUP IPGRP1 255.255.0.0:128.0.0.0 ENDIPGROUP
LUMAP LUGRP1 IPGRP1 SPECIFIC PRTGRP1
PRTMAP PRTGRP1 IPGRP1

TN5250e set-up

To set up TN5250, first configure LinkCom 5 using PrintGuide please follow section
7.6.
On many iSeries installations, a device is automatically set up on the iSeries when
LinkCom 5 is booted. For this to happen, the following conditions apply:
 Telnet must be started.
 The QUATOVRT SYSVAL parameter must be set to a value that is higher than
the number of auto-configured virtual controllers currently running on the
system.
On some installations, the QAUTOVRT SYSVAL parameter is set to 0. This prevents
any virtual controllers being auto-created. In cases where QAUTOVRT SYSVAL
cannot be changed from 0, devices must be configured manually.
