Finishing your output

You can specify a form definition that requests specific finishing functions if you are sending output to an AFP printer with finishing capabilities (for example, an InfoPrint 60 with the finisher feature).

Examples:

This is an example of a form definition that requests that each document within a data set be stapled in the top left corner.
```
FORMDEF STAPLE REPLACE YES
  FINISH SCOPE ALL OPERATION CORNER REFERENCE TOPLEFT
     BIN 1 DUPLEX NO
     OFFSET 0 0 ;
```
For more information about coding finishing in your form definitions, see Page Printer Formatting Aid: User’s Guide.
This example shows the JCL used to call the form definition with the finishing function.
```
//AFPUSER JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERA
//OUT1 OUTPUT FORMDEF=STAPLE
//PRINT DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1)
```
For more information about form definitions with the finishing function, see Form definitions supplied with PSF.

You can also use a form definition to specify finishing functions on a copy group. These finishing functions apply only to the copy group in which they are specified.
This is an example of a copy group in a form definition that requests the data set be stapled in the top left corner.
```
FORMDEF MEDC8 REPLACE YES
        OFFSET .5 in .5 in
        PRESENT PORTRAIT
        DIRECTION ACROSS;
  COPYGROUP STAPLES
            FINISH SCOPE BEGCOLL OPERATION CORNER;
  COPYGROUP STAPLEC
            FINISH SCOPE CONTCOLL OPERATION CORNER;
```
Note:

When the finisher is installed, and the form definition requests a finishing option, the InfoPrint 60 uses the appropriate output bin by default; therefore, you do not need to specify the output bin when you submit the print job.

It is also possible for you to configure PSF to finish the entire job, including the header, data set separator, message, and trailer pages. This function is called print job finishing and is set up by your system programmer.
