The only issue that we had was with separator pages when printing
to short forms (like labels or cards.)
With any other continuous forms printer that I have ever worked
with, the banner pages printed over as many forms as were required
to print the entire banner page. With the 6500 we only got as many
lines as fit within the defined FCB length.
The cure was to redefine those FCB's by repeating the channel definition
punches enough times to make the FCB long enough to contain the
banner page.
For example, using 1 inch labels printed at 6lpi. In the old days we
defined the FCB as having 6 lines, with a single channel 1 punch.
Now the FCB is defined as having 66 lines, with a channel 1 punch
every 6 lines.
Once we got that figured out the user has been very happy with
the results.
Good luck. -jack

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] PSF Printer
We are considering using PSF over IP to run IBM 6500 printers, we are
zOS1.7. I am looking to see if anyone is using this and how it is working
out. Along with that considering using the line mode migration feature to
automatically load FCB and page def information, looking for feed back
from anyone using that feature. Lastly, looking for sample JES2 statements
and the fss proc used. Thanks for any info you can provide. Matt
