The Printer Authorization Matrix Screen - IBM 3708 Description

Source Device List
Matrix Structure
Each printer may be defined to allow or prevent local copy requests from certain
displays. Any given printer may be permitted to process copies from some, all, or
none of the displays. The source device list for the printer contains this information.
When a local copy is directed to a print class, the printer selected is one that is
authorized in the source device list to accept copies from the requesting display. Not
all printers assigned to a particular class may be authorized for the same subset of
display terminals.
The 3708 provides a configuration screen that enables the user to define one entry in
the 3708 printer authorization matrix. See Figure 4-5 for an example.
PRINT CLASS, the third field of the screen, contains one position for each of the 16
classes, 70 through 85. Entering a 1 for a class allows the printer to accept local
copy requests from displays selecting that class, provided it is authorized by the
source device list.
SOURCE DEVICE LIST, the fourth field of the screen, contains one position for
each of the 10 ports on the 3708. Entering a 1 for a port authorizes the display on
that port to use the printer.
Note: If the printer that is being defined is the printer of a display-with-printer
device, the source device list may contain a 1 in the position that corresponds to the
printer's port. This allows the display to perform local copies to its attached printer.

The matrix entries defined for all printer ports are used by the 3708 to process local
copy and host printer requests. While the entries are not stored in the 3708 in a
table format, they can be thought of as if they were. The following example
