Table 16. Default PCL, PostScript, and PDF transform configuration files Data Stream Transform Configuration File Daemon Configuration File PCL pcl2afp /psf/pcl2afp/pcl2afp.cfg /psf/pcl2afp/pcl2afpd.cfg PostScript ps2afp /psf/ps2afp/ps2afp.cfg /psf/ps2afp/ps2afpd.cfg PDF pdf2afp /psf/ps2afp/ps2afp.cfg /psf/ps2afp/ps2afpd.cfg Notice that the PostScript and PDF transforms use the same default configuration files. Sample configuration file Figure 12 shows an example of a configuration file for the PostScript and PDF transforms. The configuration file for the PCL transform is similar, although it does not contain a pcl_server_timeout keyword. As a result, the PCL transform does not support the -s flag from the command line for the pcl2afp command described in "Hierarchy of transform options" on page 159. # ps2afp configuration file # KEYWORD EQUIVALENT ps2afp FLAG PURPOSE port = 8251 # -P which TCP/IP port to use server = 127.0.0.1 # -S which server to connect with ps_max_memory = 14000K # -M maximum amount of memory that # PostScript uses; the 'K' is ignored ps_job_timeout = 20 # -j maximum number of minutes # to process PostScript job ps_server_timeout = 20 # -s maximum number of minutes # server waits between jobs ps_width = 8.5i # -w width of generated image ps_length = 11i # -l length of generated image ps_x_offset = 0i # -x left and right margins ps_y_offset = 0i # -y top and bottom margins ps_resolution = 600 # -r resolution of printer ps_output_type = IO1_G4 # -a type of AFP image to generate Figure 12. Sample PostScript or PDF configuration file The configuration file uses keyword equivalents of the transform flags. See InfoPrint Manager: Reference for the keywords and values that you can specify in the configuration file. 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. See InfoPrint Manager: Reference for the daemon keywords. Improving performance in the PDF RIP You can improve the performance of the PDF RIP by configuring it to run parts of itself in parallel. These changes improve the performance of the core RIP; for improving performance by running multiple PDF RIPs on an AIX multi-processor, 158 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures
