sends jobs to do not have to be in the same server. The actual destination can be in an InfoPrint Manager server on a different AIX or Windows system. Actual destinations An actual destination represents an output device, such as a printer. In general, you create one actual destination for each physical output device that you use with InfoPrint Manager. It is possible to create more than one actual destination for a device, but that configuration is not common. You configure the actual destination to mirror the features and capabilities of the output device, such as the output resolution of a printer. You also configure the actual destination to control the order in which it processes jobs, for example, by job size or by submission time. If you do not specify values for all of the attributes when you create an actual destination, InfoPrint Manager provides default values for many of them. You can make modifications, as required, at a later time. Host receivers A host receiver provides the point of connection between InfoPrint Manager and a host system. The host system connects with the host receiver and downloads print jobs. There are two kinds of host receivers: DPF host receivers and MVS Download receivers. You create the type of host receiver you need, depending on the host print method you select. Both host receivers receive print jobs from MVS™ and submit them to InfoPrint Manager. Note: In InfoPrint Manager, the term MVS Download refers to both the Download for z/OS® feature of PSF for z/OS and the AFP Download Plus for z/OS feature of PSF for z/OS. For additional information about host printing, see Chapter 3, "Planning to print with host systems," on page 19. Documents and jobs A job is a unit of work you send to InfoPrint Manager for processing. A job can consist of a single file or many files. (To submit multiple files in a single job you must use the pdpr command, InfoPrint Submit Express, or InfoPrint Job Ticketer.) In InfoPrint Manager terminology, each file in the job and its accompanying attributes is called a document. (Both jobs and documents include attributes that define their respective requirements.) Job validation is the process of ensuring that there is an actual destination capable of processing the requirements of the job. The values of job and document attributes determine the requirements (such as duplex printing or card-stock media) that the actual destination printing the job must support. A job can include a complete description of its requirements, or the job submission process can be streamlined through the use of defaults. See "Logical destinations" on page 3 for details.

Actual destinations
An actual destination represents an output device, such as a printer. In general,
you create one actual destination for each physical output device that you use with
InfoPrint Manager. It is possible to create more than one actual destination for a
device, but that configuration is not common. You configure the actual destination
to mirror the features and capabilities of the output device, such as the output
resolution of a printer. You also configure the actual destination to control the
order in which it processes jobs, for example, by job size or by submission time.
If you do not specify values for all of the attributes when you create an actual
destination, InfoPrint Manager provides default values for many of them. You can
make modifications, as required, at a later time.
Host receivers
A host receiver provides the point of connection between InfoPrint Manager and a
host system. The host system connects with the host receiver and downloads print
jobs.
There are two kinds of host receivers: DPF host receivers and MVS Download
receivers. You create the type of host receiver you need, depending on the host
print method you select. Both host receivers receive print jobs from MVS
™
and
submit them to InfoPrint Manager.
Note:
In InfoPrint Manager, the term MVS Download refers to both the Download
for z/OS

feature of PSF for z/OS and the AFP Download Plus for z/OS feature of
PSF for z/OS.
For additional information about host printing, see Chapter 3, “Planning to print
with host systems,” on page 19.
