parameters of the printer file and all DDS print keywords (subject to printer
limitations).
IPDS printing takes on added significance across the network. TCP/IP print
support is much more limited than traditional AS/400 print management. The
Send Network Spooled Files (SNDNETSPLF, LPR in TCP/IP terminology)
command simply sends a spooled file with limited instructions and no
feedback as to whether it was received and printed correctly. Applying IPDS
to a TCP/IP network restores the same level of print support (as described
above) as twinaxial-connected printers. This includes sending standard SCS
spooled files across the network.
iSeries program products that complement PSF/400 for developing AFP
applications include:
– Infoprint Designer for iSeries (5733-ID1)
– Infoprint Server for iSeries (5722-IP1)
– Advanced Function Printing Utilities (5722-AF1)
– Advanced Print Utility (a product of AFP PrintSuite for AS/400) (program
offering 5798-AF3 or 5798-AF4)
– IBM AFP Font Collection (5648-B45)
– Infoprint Fonts for Multiplatforms (5648-E76)
Components
PSF/400 is a feature of OS/400 with the following support tiers:
Unlimited number of printers from 1 to 45 impressions per minute
Unlimited number of printers from 1 to 100 impressions per minute
Unlimited number of printers at any speed
The PSF feature of OS/400 that is required is based on the speed of the fastest
printer measured in impressions per minute (IPM), not by your iSeries processor
tier. After you license PSF/400 under a speed category, you can have an
unlimited number of printers attached to the server within that category.
New with V5R3
V5R3 brings significant fundamental enhancements to the iSeries output
architecture. These changes include:
Continued Unicode implementation
Support for TrueType and OpenType fonts
