Chapter 30. Submitting specialized print jobs This chapter describes these specialized print job: v "Submitting PSF printer input to a PCL or PPDS printer" v "Printing PCL or PostScript to PSF destinations: specifying which paper bin to use" on page 295 v "Sending print jobs to InfoPrint Manager for Windows from an AIX system" on page 303 v "Printing from ERP applications" on page 305 Submitting PSF printer input to a PCL or PPDS printer In addition to AFP printing, InfoPrint Manager lets you submit PSF printer input data to PCL and PPDS printers as well. When you use the Create Printer wizard in the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI to create a printer object that will send jobs to a PCL or PPDS printer, you must specify the path for the command in the Printer command field. For example, by default the lpr command is located at c:\winnt40\system32\lpr.exe. Because InfoPrint Manager does not search the PATH environment variable for the command, you must either add that directory to the PATH for that system or specify the entire path of the command, as in this example: c:\winnt40\system32\lpr -P printername -S servername To specify a file name in the command in a location other than at the end of the command, you must include the text-string -IPMF- in the command string. The temporary file name used to store either the PCL or PPDS data generated by InfoPrint Manager is substituted into the command wherever the -IPMFtext-string is located. Note: The dashes (-) on either side of the -IPMF- text-string are part of the syntax and cannot be omitted. You can only specify one -IPMF- text-string in a print command, as in the example below: e:\usrapp\copyit -IPMF- /b e:\tmp where copyit represents a user-written application for moving either the PCL or PPDS file that InfoPrint Manager generated to the specified directory (in this case, \tmp on the e drive), and giving it a unique name. Setting up PCL tray mappings To map the input trays requested in the AFP data stream to the input trays on your PCL printer, follow this procedure: 1. Determine the AFP bin number and PCL bin number for each input tray. Table 31 on page 294 shows the default bin numbers associated with some standard names for input trays. Note: You can use any tray names you wish, but these names are defined by the PCL data stream and are the most common names. For more information 293
