Daemon Configuration Files; Hierarchy Of Transform Options; Stapling And Punch Options Available From The Ps2Afp Transform - Ricoh InfoPrint Pro C900AFP Manual

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

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. For the daemon keywords, see the InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

Hierarchy of transform options

InfoPrint Manager assigns a hierarchy to its use of flags and configuration file
information when it runs the PCL, PostScript, or PDF transform program. This lists
the order in which InfoPrint Manager uses flags and information specified in
configuration files:
1. Any values you specify on the command line, including values in the
2. Values specified in the pcl2afp.cfg or ps2afp.cfg configuration file in the
3. Values specified in the pcl2afp.cfg or ps2afp.cfg configuration file in your
4. Values specified in the default transform command configuration file named in
5. Values specified in a customized configuration file identified with the -C flag of
6. Values specified in the default transform daemon configuration file named in
7. Default values that are built into InfoPrint Manager. These are the same as the

Stapling and punch options available from the ps2afp transform

You can use the ps2afp transform to specify both staple and punch finishing
options. To use this support, you must:
configuration file you specify with the -C flag.
InfoPrint commands process flags from left to right. If you enter the same flag
more than once, InfoPrint Manager uses the last occurrence of the flag to
determine the value to use. For example, if you enter this command:
ps2afp -Cconfig.file -r240 -r300 myfile.ps
the ps2afp command transforms the file using 300-pel resolution. InfoPrint
Manager ignores the resolution value specified in the configuration file
config.file as well as the first -r240 flag and value.
current directory, if one exists and if you enter the transform command directly.
InfoPrint Manager ignores values in the current directory if you invoke the
transform command indirectly by submitting a job to print.
home directory, if one exists.
