AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe

PPR/PPD Printing - IPDS data streams

Note:

Before you begin In order to use the AXIS 5470e/570/670e to print IPDS data using

TCP/IP as the transport protocol, the following software must be

installed and configured on your MVS:

• PSF/MVS Version 2 release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.

• MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 to support the two new

PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO.

• TCP/IP version 3 release 1, or higher

As the AXIS 5470e/570/670e translates IPDS to PostScript, you also

need a printer with PostScript level 2 capability.

Configuration

Procedures

The configuration procedures presented in this section are divided

into seven separate steps:

1. Specifying the TCP/IP address space name

2. Defining the MVS control unit

3. Modifying the TCP/IP profile on your MVS system, if necessary

4. Configuring the AXIS 5470e/570/670e

5. Verifying the communication between the AXIS 5470e/570/670e

and the IBM Mainframe

6. Defining the AXIS 5470e/570/670e as a writer-controlled printer

to JES

7. Defining the printer to PSF with a PRINTDEV statement,

including the IP address and port number.

IPDS is only available for AXIS 670e and AXIS 5470e units with the IPDS option

installed. Please refer to Product Model Summary on page 10.
