The cicsprnt command controls 3270 printer terminal emulation.
An application running on a server can direct output to a printer in one
of the following ways:
- An application running from a terminal can initiate printing by sending
a map or data with the PRINT indicator set.
- A user can start a 3270 Print Terminal Emulator, at a client, using the cicsprnt command.
A 3270 Print Terminal Emulator must be started for a netname or model terminal
definition predefined in the server’s terminal tables. Output is directed
to such a device by starting a transaction against the printer device.
- At client workstations you can use the PrintScreen key, as defined by
the keyboard mapping file. However, any lines that contain only null characters
are not printed. For a ‘blank’ line to be printed, it must contain
at least one space character.
