Configuring PSF/400 for IPDS on V3R7 and
Above
To configure IPDS on AS/400 V3R7 and above, use the following
commands:
•
CRTPSFCFG
(Optional)
•
CRTDEVPRT
Configuring AFP with CRTPSFCFG on V3R7 or
V4R1 (Optional)
New for V3R7 is the ability to specify three TCP/IP-related
parameters for PSF in a printer device description:
RMTLOCNAME
,
PORT
, and
ACTTMR
. In V3R2,
CRTPSFCFG
, which replaced
WRKAFP2
, was used to specify these same parameters, along with
other parameters. In V3R7 and higher, these three parameters are
ignored when specified in a PSF configuration object, since they
are specified in a printer device description. However, you may
wish to use a PSF configuration object to specify other parameters,
such as IPDS passthrough and so on.
The PSF configuration object created with this command is used by
PSF/400 when printing IPDS files only if the object is specified with
the
USRDFNOBJ
parameter in the printer device description.
To configure AS/400 for IPDS printing on V3R7 or V4R1:
1. At the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:
CRTPSFCFG PSFCFG(AFP/ printer_type NETPRT)
IPDSPASTHR(*YES) RLSTMR(*SEC15)
TEXT(‘ printer_type NETWORK PRINTER’)
where
printer_type
(e.g., T5000, P7000) is the model of
your printer.
