Starting and Stopping PDF Archival

Under JES2, a PDF archiver FSA can be started as follows:

• An operator can enter the START DEVICE JES2 command
• Automatically, when JES2 is brought up

  The PRTnnnn statement for the printer FSA must contain the START parameter

• Under JES3, a PDF archiver FSA can be started as follows:
• An operator can enter the START WRITER JES3 command
• JES3 starts the PDF archival when printing is scheduled for a printer FSA

If you do not want archiving to stop after each job, you can define the FSS as a JES3 "hot writer," keeping the address space active.

Note: The PDF archival FSA differs from normal printers in that it can only be started and stopped. Positioning commands, such as those to interrupt a printer, forward space, or backspace the printer, cannot be used.
