Configuring PSF For IPDS On V3R7 Or V4R1

To configure IPDS on iSeries V3R7 and above, use the following commands:

•CRTPSFCFG (Optional)

•CRTDEVPRT

Configuring AFP With CRTPSFCFG On V3R7 Or V4R1 (Optional)

New for V3R7 is the ability to specify three TCP/IP-related parameters for PSF in a printer device description: RMTLOCNAME, PORT, and ACTTMR. In V3R2, CRTPSFCFG, which replaced WRKAFP2, was used to specify these same parameters, along with other parameters. In V3R7 and higher, these three parameters are ignored when specified in a PSF configuration object, since they are specified in a printer device description. However, you may wish to use a PSF configuration object to specify other parameters, such as IPDS pass through and so on.

The PSF configuration object created with this command is used by PSF when printing IPDS files only if the object is specified with the USRDFNOBJ parameter in the printer device description.

To configure iSeries for IPDS printing on V3R7 or V4R1:

1. At the iSeries command line, enter a command in the form:

CRTPSFCFG PSFCFG(AFP/NET6500 IPDSPASTHR(*YES) RLSTMR(*SEC15) TEXT(‘printer_type NETWORK PRINTER’)

2. A completed screen looks like Figure 31.
