Example -- ISPF Processing panel for the AFP to PCL transform

Figure 5 shows the ISPF panel that you use to specify the AFP to PCL transform in a printer definition. Only a portion of the Processing panel is shown. This example uses the afpxpcl_eu transform class from the aopxfd.conf file.

Explanation of fields:

• The Line data, MO:DCA-P, and XML data formats are selected because the afpxpcl.dll filter can transform these data formats to PCL format. The transform options are:
  • The -c filter option causes the transform to use the eu transform class, which is defined in the transform configuration file.
  • The %filter-options filter option lets the job submitter override the transform class because it is specified to the right of the -c filter option.
• The Text and PCL data formats are selected because the printer can accept these data formats without any transform. The aopfiltr.so filter is specified for Text data because Print Interface uses this filter.
• The Resubmit for filtering field is selected so that IP PrintWay™ basic mode calls Print Interface to transform documents submitted from batch applications.
• In the Fail on error field, option Error is selected. If a data stream error occurs during the transform, the transform fails and does not create an output document.
• In the Trailer error page field, option No is selected. The transform does not write any warning or error messages to a trailer error page.
