Print Services Manager

Print Services Manager (PSM) allows you to specify the format of a print request and on which printer it is printed. Print requests can be viewed online before or after printing and can be redirected to files rather than printers.

PSM provides the following features, which can be customized to suit your requirements:

• Printer definition facilities
• Form definition maintenance
• Setup definition maintenance
• Default printer assignment maintenance
• Alias printer name definitions
• Banner page customization on output
• Spooled print request browsing, retention, and redirection to a different printer
• Integration with NCL-based components

The following illustration shows the different ways that PSM can be used to control printing requirements.
