# HCAM - Hardcopy Access Method

This Natural profile parameter determines which access method is to be used for hardcopy output processing.

Possible settings | With `HCAM=value`, you can specify one of the following access-method names:
Value: | Access Method:
`STD` | Standard sequential file (batch, TSO).
`COMP` | Com-plete print file.
`CICS` | CICS transient data or temporary storage.
`IMS` | IMS TM printer.
`NAF` | Natural Advanced Facilities.
`USER` | Third-party vendor print interface.
`SMARTS` | SMARTS print file.
`ESS` | Entire System Server.
`ANY` | Hardcopy output processing will be handled by the first access method available (the search sequence for available access methods is the sequence in which the access methods are listed here).
`OFF` | Hardcopy output processing will not be handled by any access method.
Default setting | `ANY` |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. `HCAM=value` is equivalent to the `AM` subparameter of the profile parameter `PRINT` for Print File 0, that is, `PRINT=((0),AM=xxx)`.
2. The hardcopy output destination is specified using the profile parameter `HCDEST`. More specifications for the hardcopy output file can be made using the `PRINT` profile parameter or the `NTPRINT` macro for Printer 0.
