Sample Postscript Or Pdf Configuration File; Default Pcl, Postscript, And Pdf Transform; Keyword; Daemon Configuration Files - Ricoh InfoPrint Pro C900AFP Manual

Notice that the PostScript and PDF transforms use the same default configuration
files.
Sample configuration file
Figure 12 shows an example of a configuration file for the PostScript and PDF
transforms. The configuration file for the PCL transform is similar, although it does
not contain a pcl_server_timeout keyword. As a result, the PCL transform does not
support the -s flag from the command line for the pcl2afp command described in
"Hierarchy of transform options" on page 159.

The configuration file uses keyword equivalents of the transform flags. See
InfoPrint Manager: Reference for the keywords and values that you can specify in the
configuration file.

Daemon configuration files

The PCL, PostScript, and PDF transforms all require a daemon to be running
before you can use them. The pcl2afpd daemon manages the PCL interpreter
portion of the pcl2afp transform. The ps2afpd daemon manages the PostScript
interpreter portion of the ps2afp and pdf2afp transforms. For more information
about these daemons, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference.
Each daemon, like the corresponding transform, uses a configuration file. The
daemon configuration file can contain the same keywords as the transform
configuration file, except server, plus some keywords that control the operation of
the daemon. See InfoPrint Manager: Reference for the daemon keywords.
Improving performance in the PDF RIP
You can improve the performance of the PDF RIP by configuring it to run parts of
itself in parallel. These changes improve the performance of the core RIP; for
improving performance by running multiple PDF RIPs on an AIX multi-processor,
