Planning for printers
Each actual destination in your InfoPrint Manager environment must be
configured. The specific information required to perform each configuration varies
according to the destination support system (DSS) and attachment type to be used.
To determine the appropriate DSS and attachment type, see “Understanding
Destination Support Systems (DSS)” in
InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting
Started
.
A worksheet is available to help you prepare to create each type of printer in
InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started
.
Planning for host receivers
A host receiver is used to accept print jobs submitted from mainframe host systems
(such as MVS, z/OS, or i5/OS). In InfoPrint Manager, there are two kinds of host
receivers: DPF host receivers, and MVS Download receivers. When you are ready
to create your receivers, you use the InfoPrint Manager Management Console.
