Re: Infoprint Server, duplex option

Yes.  You can use the DUPLEX option on the OUTPUT JCL statement with
Printway Extended as long as you have set the correct values in
duplexes-supported in your printer definition.  If you tell Printway what
kind of duplexing your printer supports, then it can do it.

Re: Infoprint Server, duplex option

2021-10-04 Thread Frank Swarbrick 
Hi Roger,

We do currently use PCL in document-header parameters to specify duplex, font, 
orientation, etc.  That means we have at least 12 different printer definitions 
for each printer.  Allowing dynamic specification of the duplex parameter would 
allow use to cut this down to 4, I think (80 char portrait, 132 char portrait, 
132 char landscape and 176 char landscape, I think.)
I was wondering if we could eliminate at least the duplex PCL code and specify 
DUPLEX in the JCL.

We do use some transforms, but we don't use them for simple text output.

Generally the DUPLEX on the OUTPUT JCL card is for AFP output through PSF,
but for Infoprint Server there are associated products that transform AFP
documents into PCL, Postscript, or PDF and some of these can use the DUPLEX
attribute.  For Infoprint Server it is also possible to define a
document-header value which can be a string of PCL/PJL commands understood
by most printers. See PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference
Guide (hp.com) <http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpl13205.pdf>
If your printer accepts the PCL header and can do duplex, you can set the
control for duplex in the document-header of a printer definition for the
printer.

See IBM Print Transforms from AFP for Infoprint Server for z/OS

Generally the DUPLEX on the OUTPUT JCL card is for AFP output through PSF,
but for Infoprint Server there are associated products that transform AFP
documents into PCL, Postscript, or PDF and some of these can use the DUPLEX
attribute.  For Infoprint Server it is also possible to define a
document-header value which can be a string of PCL/PJL commands understood
by most printers. See PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Quick Reference
Guide (hp.com) 
If your printer accepts the PCL header and can do duplex, you can set the
control for duplex in the document-header of a printer definition for the
printer.

Infoprint Server, duplex option

2021-09-30 Thread Frank Swarbrick 
Does anyone happen to know if non-PSF print jobs (specifically, LPR or IPP) 
support the use of the DUPLEX parameter on the OUTPUT JCL statement?  I've 
tried it with an IP Printway LPR printer definition, but it doesn't seem to 
have any effect.  The documentation leads me to think it might only be 
supported for PSF printers, but it's really not clear.
