You will now use the Immediate Printing option. This exercise demonstrates the following printing parameter fields:
Table 8 Parameters of the Print Option Window
Parameter |
What It Does |
---|---|
COPIES |
Specifies how many copies of the report are to be printed. |
DEST |
Specifies the remote printer (node and userid) on which the report is to be printed. If this field is blank, the report prints on the default printer. |
WTR |
In this field you can specify the name of an external writer for printing the report. If your data center is using TS-PRINT, specify the VTAM name of the printer in this field. |
FROM PAGE and TO PAGE |
Specifies a page range (inclusive) for printing part of a report. |
PAGEDEF and FORMDEF |
These fields specify PAGEDEF and FORMDEF parameters for AFP reports. |
The Immediate Printing option sends a report to the JES spool with the printer parameters specified in the fields in the window.
In this exercise, you will immediately print two copies of only the first page of the report at the desired printer.
Note: If you do not know the name of your printer, leave the DEST field blank.
The Print Option window should look like the example below, where printer represents your target printer.
