Configuring On iSeries As An IPDS Printer

Use this chapter to configure your printer on iSeries as an IPDS printer. To
print IPDS, you must install the IPDS option on your printer. Once configured
as an IPDS printer, the printer can also print AFP™ and SCS, but these
datastreams must be converted to IPDS first.
NOTE: Do not cancel IPDS print jobs by using WebPage cancel.

Printing AFP, IPDS, And SCS Files

Printers configured as IPDS only print IPDS files. AFP and SCS files can be
printed, but they must be transformed to IPDS before printing.
•
APF files are transformed directly by Print Services Facility™ (PSF),
which then sends the transformed file to the printer.
•
SCS files are transformed into IPDS by setting the IPDSPASTHR
parameter to YES. This path yields the best performance by sending
IPDS files directly to the printer with no transform.

Requirements

Contact technical support to obtain the latest PTFs for PSF.
For IPDS printing, you also need to install the IPDS option on the printer.
