Finishing

Definition name: Finishing Definition created with option 4. Finishing Definitions on the Auto Forms Control menu.

Output queue: The Finishing pre-process will generate a *SCS spool entry. This spool entry will be formatted with Finishing preprocessing information (can be viewed from position 341 using DSPSPLF). This spool entry should normally be printed to the same AFC input queue, in order to merge it with an overlay. Note, that sending this spool entry directly to the PFE MailPrinter / Prinserter or printer with Finishing equipment will have no effect.

Form type:The pre-processed spool entry should have a Form type defined which allows a following 1=Merge with overlay line to create a PCL formatted output for the PFE MailPrinter / Prinserter or printer with Finishing equipment.

Merge with pre-processed Finishing spool entry

We can now merge the new spool entry with an overlay conditioned by the Formtype PFEREADY or by using an Overlay Selector:
