The configuration file uses keyword equivalents of the transform flags. For the keywords and values that you can specify in the configuration file, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. Daemon configuration files The PCL, PostScript, and PDF transforms all require a daemon to be running before you can use them. The pcl2afpd daemon manages the PCL interpreter portion of the pcl2afp transform. The ps2afpd daemon manages the PostScript interpreter portion of the ps2afp and pdf2afp transforms. For more information about these daemons, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. Each daemon, like the corresponding transform, uses a configuration file. The daemon configuration file can contain the same keywords as the transform configuration file (except server), plus some keywords that control the operation of the daemon. For the daemon keywords, see the InfoPrint Manager: Reference. Hierarchy of transform options InfoPrint Manager assigns a hierarchy to its use of flags and configuration file information when it runs the PCL, PostScript, or PDF transform program. This lists the order in which InfoPrint Manager uses flags and information specified in configuration files: 1. Any values you specify on the command line, including values in the configuration file you specify with the -C flag. InfoPrint commands process flags from left to right. If you enter the same flag more than once, InfoPrint Manager uses the last occurrence of the flag to determine the value to use. For example, if you enter this command: ps2afp -Cconfig.file -r240 -r300 myfile.ps the ps2afp command transforms the file using 300-pel resolution. InfoPrint Manager ignores the resolution value specified in the configuration file config.file as well as the first -r240 flag and value. 2. Values specified in the pcl2afp.cfg or ps2afp.cfg configuration file in the current directory, if one exists and if you enter the transform command directly. InfoPrint Manager ignores values in the current directory if you invoke the transform command indirectly by submitting a job to print. 3. Values specified in the pcl2afp.cfg or ps2afp.cfg configuration file in your home directory, if one exists. 4. Values specified in the default transform command configuration file named in "Sample configuration file" on page 178. 5. Values specified in a customized configuration file identified with the -C flag of the pcl2afpd or ps2afpd command when the transform daemon started. 6. Values specified in the default transform daemon configuration file named in "Sample configuration file" on page 178. 7. Default values that are built into InfoPrint Manager. These are the same as the transform defaults except that the default PostScript or PDF output type is an IM1 uncompressed image. Stapling and punch options available from the ps2afp transform You can use the ps2afp transform to specify both staple and punch finishing options. To use this support, you must: Chapter 23.
