These daemon configuration files can contain many of the same keywords as the transform configuration file, except server, plus some keywords that control the operation of the daemon. See InfoPrint Manager: Reference or man pages for the daemon keywords. # 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 = IO1_G4 # type of output to generate Figure 18. Sample PDF parallel transform (8264.cfg) configuration file for black and white Configuring for a dual engine halftone printer If you have either an InfoPrint 4000 Advanced Function Duplex Printing System - Models ID5/ID6 or an InfoPrint 4000 High Resolution Duplex Printing System, you can use the pdfprs client to drive a dual-engine configuration with customized halftone support for each engine. Note that while the pdfprs client can RIP both the color and the black-and-white (monochrome) PDF files, these printers only print black-and-white output. In addition, these printers do not provide as extensive a performance benefit as that you will see when printing color PDF files. If you do print color PDF files and then want to switch to black-and-white PDF files, you must stop the RIPs and change the configuration files. For this support, you must configure and start an even number of RIPs. The first RIP must be customized to use the first print engine's halftone configuration, and the second RIP must be customized to use the second print engine's halftone configuration. This pattern must be repeated for each RIP that is configured. In addition, each RIP must be configured to use the desired halftone configuration at the daemon configuration level. For example, if you are using two InfoPrint 4000 printers, all the even-numbered RIPs should match the halftone configuration Chapter 15. Working with transforms 179
