New Mainframe Printer Installed
By George Morrow, ACS Consultant (morrow@cc.admin.unt.edu)
A new mainframe laser printer has
been installed in the ISB 133 I/O area. It is an IBM 3900, capable
of printing 229 pages per minute. This new printer replaces the
two HP 2680A*s (one in the ISB I/O area and one in BA 151). The speed
of this new printer should alleviate extended turnaround times for
printouts during peak usage times.
Printer Names
The long-standing printer names of "LASER"
and "REMOTE1" can still be used to route output to the new mainframe
laser printer. The printer names of "BA" and "REMOTE4" are
also still valid, however, they will route output to one of two
Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 5 printers located in the College of Business
Administration I/O) area.
Notable Exceptions
Using this new IBM 3900 printer will be
transparent to most users, with two exceptions. LP2X will only be
the default print environment for output sent directly from CMS; jobs
run and routed to the printer directly from MVS will be printed by
default on a "1-up" (LP1X) environment. Those wanting *SECURE*
printouts must follow a new procedure to specify secure filing. In
CMS, examples of securing output may be found in HELP NEWS or in HELP
MVS within the MVSguide menu item. The various environments available
and how to designate them are presented in HELP OPER within the LASER
menu selection.
