RIP Daemon configuration files The PDF parallel transform requires that at least three daemons be running to manage the PostScript interpreter portion of the pdf2afp transform. To simplify your configuration, InfoPrint recommends naming these daemons after the ports that they are running on. For this document, the configuration example begun in Figure 16 on page 177 will use the names 8261.cfg, 8262.cfg, 8263.cfg, and 8264.cfg. For more information about this daemon, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. The daemon, like the corresponding transform, uses configuration files. The daemon configuration files reside in the /var/psf/ directory. It is recommended that you create a /pdf2afp subdirectory where all support related to the Parallel PDF RIP client (pdfprs) can reside. Figure 17 shows an example of a configuration file for the PDF parallel transform client that RIPs a color (FS45) file. # 8264.cfg configuration file # KEYWORD EQUIVALENT ps2afp FLAG PURPOSE port = 8264 # which TCP/IP port to use work_directory = /var/psf/pdf2afp/4 directory to put work files in log_files = /var/psf/pdf2afp/4/ps2afpd.log where to write log messages notify = root # notify if problems are encountered mail_command = /usr/bin/mail # program used to send notifications ps_program = /usr/lpp/psf/bin/ps2afpi # name of the PostScript interpreter program ps_init_file = /usr/lpp/psf/bin/ps2afpe.ps # name of the PostScript interpreter # initialization file ps_files_path = /usr/lpp/psf/ps2afp :\ /usr/lpp/psf/config :\ /usr/lpp/psf # path to searhc for jobInit files ps_max_memory = 32000K # maximum amount of memory that # PostScript uses; the 'K' is ignored ps_job_timeout = 9999 # maximum number of minutes # to process PostScript job ps_server_timeout = 180 # maximum number of minutes # server waits between jobs ps_font_map_files = /usr/lpp/psf/ps/psfonts.map :\ /var/psf/psfonts/user.map # list of font mapping files ps_width = 8.5i # width of generated image ps_length = 11i # length of generated image ps_x_offset = 0i # left and right margins ps_y_offset = 0i # top and bottom margins ps_resolution = 600 # resolution of target printer ps_output_type = FS45 # type of output to generate pragma = resources=none ;\ printerSpeed=130 ;\ linkBandWidth=6000000 ;\ resourceNameFilename=../.resNames; Figure 17. Sample PDF parallel transform (8264.cfg) configuration file for color If you are defining and configuring daemon RIPs across several AIX servers, you must define the resources in the daemon RIP configuration file as shown in the highlighted section of Figure 17. This step ensures that NFS can find all the resources and concatenate the result into a single file. You only need to specify the resourceNameFilename= value on the pragma parameter this way if you are using inline resources and the FS45 IOCA color format. 178 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures
