To configure BARR/PRINT CHANNEL, you must configure the host for your device.
The CHPID and CNTLUNIT parameters on the host definition vary depending if you are using an ESCON or Bus & Tag connection. The IODEVICE parameter varies depending if you are emulating a 3211 or 4245 IBM line printer. Typically 3211 will be specified, however if the mainframe is configured for 4245, you should set the value to 4245.
Use the following host definitions for BARR/PRINT CHANNEL using an ESCON device. For ESCON connections, set your host control unit type to NOCHECK.
If you are using Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) to configure your host, remove the "SHARED=N," and "TIMEOUT=Y," parameters.
