also create a conditionally-terminating transform . To create this, define a unique
return code to indicate the transform was successful but does not return data to
print.
Transforms do not do anything by themselves. They remain inactive until you
associate them with an actual destination as a transform sequence. A
transform
sequence is an attribute of an actual destination that contains an ordered list of
transforms. Every job that is submitted to that actual destination is sent through
that list of transforms in the order specified before it is printed.
InfoPrint Manager lets you create a sequence for transforming print data before the
system sends it to a printer. This provides users with a feature similar to the
configurable transform sequences that you could create in PSF/2 using the
XFMFLTR
utility. For more information about creating transform sequences, see
“Defining a transform sequence.”
Notes:
1. If you include a terminating transform in a transform sequence, it must be the
last transform in the sequence.
2. If you invoke a terminating transform for a document in a job, the entire job
ends after all the documents in that job finish processing. It does not matter
whether any other documents in the job use the terminating transform.
Defining a transform sequence
A transform sequence lets you string together a series of transform objects to do a
series of tasks. This topic provides an example of a transform sequence, followed
by the specific procedure you can use to create a sequence of transform objects.
You want to define an actual destination that will copy AFP versions of all print
jobs sent to it into a directory on your InfoPrint Manager server system. This
directory is used as an archive of AFP versions of print jobs that might need to be
viewed later.
To accomplish this, you use the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI to create
these three transforms:
1. tranps
You set the input data format to PostScript, the Transform options to use
ps2afp
, and the output data format to MODCA-P (Mixed Object Document
Content Architecture).
2. transpcl
You set the input data format to PCL, the Transform options to use
pcl2afp
,
and the output data format to MODCA-P.
3. saveafp
You set the input data format to AFP, the Transform options to issue a copy
command, and the output data format to MODCA-P. In addition, you make
this a terminating transform by selecting
Transform only in the Create
Transform dialog.
Then, create an actual destination that you want to do the transform sequence.
When the Printer Creation wizard asks if you want to change the configuration for
the printer, click yes, then click the
Configuration tab to define the transform
sequence as follows:
1. transps
