Understanding attachment types for PSF actual destinations
The attachment type for a PSF DSS actual destination determines what data format is sent and how PSF sends the data to the device or destination. The following attachment types are available:
- TCP/IP
- A PSF TCP/IP attachment type actual destination drives an IPDS printer that is connected
to the network. When sending IPDS to a printer, the PSF DSS uses the PSF printing
subsystem to communicate with the output devices. This subsystem provides excellent
two-way communication with the printer so InfoPrint Manager has the best control and information regarding the job. For more information, see
PSF TCP/IP printer.
Note: The InfoPrint1000 family of printers uses port
9100
. Most other InfoPrint printers default to port5001
. The value you set here must match the value set at the printer. - Upload-TCP/IP
- A PSF Upload-TCP/IP attachment type actual destination uploads jobs in AFPDS format to either z/OS or MVS. This DSS communicates with either P
