Sharing InfoPrint 6500-V Printers on z/OS

InfoPrint 6500-V printers can be shared on PSF in one of two ways:
•
•

JES Spool Printer Sharing

JES spool printer sharing is valid for TCP/IP attached network printers. A
session with the printer is maintained while there is output on the JES spool
and the printer is available. When there is no more output on the spool and
the disconnect interval expires, PSF ends the session with the printer. PSF
attempts to restart the session when there is more work on the spool for the
printer. After the session is restarted, PSF must reload the resources required
for the print jobs. When using this method of network printer sharing, PSF
cannot determine if another print driver is active.
The preferred method is to first stop the PSF FSA for the printer by
entering the following command from the z/OS console:
JES2:
$Pprinter_name
JES3:
*VARY printer_name,OFF
*CANCEL printer_name
where printer_name specifies the name of the printer FSA.
Then you can turn off power to the printer.
To end the PSF FSA for the printer, use the JES commands. If you are
unable to purge or cancel the printer by use of the JES commands, enter
the following command: MODIFY FSSname,FORCE,printer_name
Print an ethernet test page. Refer to your InfoPrint 6500 Line Matrix
Printers: User's Manual.
Verify that the IPDS service is enabled.
Verify the service name.
Verify that port number 5001 is being used.
By using the MGMTMODE and DISCINTV parameters via the JES spool.
By port switching on the printer.
