Intermate i5, AS/400 Using the Finishing Definition with Auto Forms Control, PFEDEF1, Pfeready

Using the Finishing Definition with Auto Forms Control

Prior to making the following definitions for Finishing control in Auto Forms Control, a Finishing Definition must exist.

Enter menu point 5. Auto Forms Control on the main menu, and select 1. Functions Attached to output queues. Either create a new AFC queue to be used as input queue for the PFE MailPrinter / Prinserter or printer with Finishing equipment, or edit an existing definition. Please refer to the InterForm400® manual for additional information on general operation of Auto Forms Control.

Activate the Finishing pre-process definition

In the following we have created a new AFC queue called PFE_IN, and we define our first AFC definition line to be C=Prepare for Finishing. By entering a Form type we can limit the preparation to specific input spool entries, in this case spool files with Form type DEMO:
