Figure 1 shows how to run a trace of the AFP to PCL transform in the Processing section of a printer definition. Only a portion of the
ISPF panel is shown. The trace is written to file
/var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxpcl.n.d/myfile.trace. Figure 1. Example ISPF panel for running traces

In the filter-options job attribute
The following example shows how to run a trace by using the lp command.
In the example, the printer definition myprinter specifies the AFP to PCL transform (afpxpcl). The transform writes the
trace and stderr output to file
/var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxpcl.n.d/myfile.trace.
lp -d myprinter -o "filter-options='-T all -F myfile.trace'" myfile.afp
On the transform command
The following example shows how to run a trace on a transform command.
In this example, the
AFP to PostScript
transform (afpxps) writes a full trace and stderr
output for file myfile.afp to file
/var/Printsrv/xfd/afpxps.n.d/myfile.trace.
afpxps -o myfile.ps -T all -F myfile.trace myfile.afp
