Chapter 19. Submitting PSF printer input to a PCL or PPDS
printer
In addition to AFP printing, InfoPrint Manager allows you to submit PSF printer
input data to PCL and PPDS printers as well. There are two methods that you can
use to do this: using a PSF command DSS or PSF other-driver DSS. If you choose
to use the PSF command DSS, you need to be aware of the following information.
See the
InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started
guide for additional information.
When you use the Create Printer wizard in the InfoPrint Manager Administration
GUI to create a printer object that will send jobs to a PCL or PPDS printer, you
must specify the path for the command in the
Printer command
field. For
example, by default the
lpr
command is located at
/usr/bin/lpr
. Because InfoPrint
Manager does not search the
PATH
environment variable for the command, you
must either add that directory to the
PATH
for that system or specify the entire
path of the command, as in this example:
/usr/bin/lpr -P
printername
-S
servername
If you need to specify a file name in the command in a location other than at the
end of the command, you must include the text-string
-IPMF-
in the command
string. The temporary file name used to store either the PCL or PPDS data
generated by InfoPrint Manager is substituted into the command wherever the
-IPMF-
text-string is located.
Note:
The dashes (
-
) on either side of the
-IPMF-
text-string are part of the syntax
and cannot be omitted.
You can only specify one
-IPMF-
text-string in a print command, as in the example
below:
/usr/bin/copyit -IPMF- -b /tmp
where
copyit
represents a user-written application for moving either the PCL or
PPDS file that InfoPrint Manager generated to the specified directory (in this case,
/tmp
), and giving it a unique name.
Setting up PCL tray mappings
Follow these steps to map the input trays requested in the AFP data stream to the
input trays on your PCL printer:
1.
Determine the AFP bin number and PCL bin number for each input tray.
Table 30 on page 218 shows the default bin numbers associated with some
standard names for input trays.
Note:
You can use any tray names you wish, but these names are defined by
the PCL data stream and are the most common names. For more information
about the limitations of trays and paper with a PSF other-driver or PSF
command DSS see the
psf-tray-characteristics
attribute in the
InfoPrint Manager:
