1. Make sure that the IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) capable printer supports either staple or punch finishing options. 2. Make sure that the PostScript input file contains either staple or punch information. 3. Make sure that the keyword finishing is assigned to the device_controls option in the ps2afpd.cfg configuration file, as shown in the bold-faced example in Figure 11 on page 181. 4. Make sure that the application or driver that generated the PostScript supports the subset of staple or punch operations enabled in the ps2afp transform. See "Staple and punch operations supported by the ps2afp transform" on page 181 for a list of these staple and punch options. If you are interested in using this finishing support, the PostScript drivers available with these printers contain this support. You can specify these InfoPrint printers as TCP/IP: v InfoPrint 2085 v InfoPrint 2105 v InfoPrint 2060ES v InfoPrint 2075ES v InfoPrint 2090ES v InfoPrint 2105ES Specifying finishing in the ps2afpd.cfg file This shows how you can specify finishing values in the ps2afp data stream transform: 1. From a command line, access the ps2afpd.cfg file that is in either the /usr/lpp/psf/ps2afp/ directory on an AIX server or the install_path\ps2afp folder on a Windows server. 2. Using your editor of choice, edit the file. 3. Find the heading #ENABLING STAPLING OR PUNCH FINISHING OPTIONS THROUGH THE TRANSFORM and remove the hash mark (#) that comments out this line: device_controls=finishing 4. Save and close the file. Notes: 1. The device_controls option also accepts bin numbers and plex key words. 2. If you omit plex, the ps2afp transform creates duplex output. 3. If you omit bin numbers, the ps2afp transform creates output that indicates that the first input tray should be used. 4. Not all printers support using the staple and punch options that the ps2afp transform generates. If you send a document with staple or punch operations to an IPDS printer that does not support the request, InfoPrint Manager issues a message and completes the job, without either staples or punch holes. Refer to your printer documentation to determine which (if any) staple or punch operations are available. For further examples, see the ps2fpd.cfg file shipped with the latest version of InfoPrint Manager, which includes the device_controls option. 180 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
