– Specify z-fold options for any page within a spooled file
– Include an overlay and specify the orientation (rotation) at which the overlay should be
printed
• The Printer File has parameters that allow you to:
– Print overlays on the back side of pages without any variable data
– Specify that output should be corner-stapled, edge-stitched, or saddle-stitched
• User control of AS/400 font mapping table enables greater control and flexibility with
print applications
• Added finishing options enable inline document finishing, including stapling, stitching,
inserting, and z-folding operations
• All new IBM AS/400 printers (for example, InfoPrint 43, InfoPrint 60 with Finisher, and
InfoPrint 3000) are fully supported
• Print Services Facility
Enhancements to data description specifications (DDS), the printer file, and the optional
Print Services Facility/400 feature are included for added flexibility in managing your
printer environment, and in formatting and finishing print applications.
Keywords are included in DDS and the printer file to increase your flexibility in formatting
and finishing printed output:
– Switch between simplex and duplex printing within a spooled file
– Force printing on a new sheet of paper anywhere in a spooled file
– Direct pages of a spooled file to a specific output bin
– Include tabbed insert pages from a finisher anywhere in the spooled file available
through the DRAWER keyword
– Specify z-fold options for any page within a spooled file
– Include an overlay and specify the orientation in which the overlay is printed
The printer file has parameters to:
– Print overlays on the back side of pages without any variable data
– Specify that output can now be saddled-stitched, or as previously announced,
corner-stapled or edge-stitched
The mapping table that substitutes one printer resident font for another when a particular
printer does not support the requested font can be modified through a parameter in the
PSF configuration object. You control font fidelity for your applications across a variety of
different printers with greater flexibility and precision.
With these finishing options, you can exploit the inline finishing capabilities of IBM
InfoPrint 60 and InfoPrint 32 printers. The InfoPrint 32 has an optional high-capacity
output stacker with three additional output bins. With this stacker, you choose finishing
options such as offset jogging and stapling. InfoPrint 60, with its optional finisher,
