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
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.
