Printing Enterprise Print Output on IPDS Printers

Web

In this scenario, a business uses an enterprise resource planning software package to create and print its output in PCL format. They would like to direct their high volume print jobs to high-speed IPDS printers.

Here is how this business can use the Infoprint Server components to meet its requirements:

1.From a Windows workstation, a user submits the document for printing on an IPDS printer using a printer shared though NetServer.

2.The document is put on the OS/400 spool and then directed to Transform Manager.

3.Transform manager uses the PCL transform to transform the data to AFP.

4.The transform sends the AFP data to PSF for OS/400.

5.PSF submits the data for printing.

Figure 5 shows how Infoprint Server lets you print PCL, PDF, or PostScript documents from your workstation on IPDS printers.
