Things to consider when using print job finishing

• Print job finishing adds a new outer level of finishing around the existing job. Any finishing operations currently specified by the data sets within the job become nested finishing operations. The printer and finisher must support this nesting or errors are generated and the existing finishing operations are not performed. Some nested finishing operations are supported and others are not. See your printer and finisher documentation for the supported finishing operations.
• All pages within the print job are always included. It is not possible to selectively include some finished pages while excluding others. For example, you cannot specify that the header is finished with the job, but the message pages are not finished.
• The form definition used by the header page initiates print job finishing; therefore, you must be running with header pages turned on.
• Suppressing interrupt message pages is suggested when PSF is attached to a printer with finisher capability; otherwise, interrupt message pages separate finished documents into two finished groups with the inserted page in the middle.
