Defining Printer Destinations

The printer destination table resides in the ADROUT library. Keep the following facts in mind:

• Each system and network printer must be defined using the DEFINE OUTPUT DESTINATION command.
• You can modify network printers using the ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION NETWORK command once they are defined.
• LIBRARY is already defined as an output destination when CA IPC PSS component is installed and ADROUT is initialized.
• You do not need to define CA eMail+ destinations. They are defined using CA eMail+ facilities.
• You can define a printer as either a SYSTEM or NETWORK destination. Prints to NETWORK destinations run synchronously. Prints to SYSTEM destinations submit batch print jobs.
• CA IPC PSS supports network printers that are 328x-compatible.
• All TCT entries should exist in the CICS regions sharing an ADROUT library. For more information regarding multiple environments and the considerations for sharing ADROUT, see the “Module Format for Programs and Panels” chapter.
