Configuring PSF/400 For IPDS On V3R7 And
Above

To configure IPDS on AS/400 V3R7 and above, use the following
commands:

CRTPSFCFG

(Optional)

CRTDEVPRT

Configuring AFP With CRTPSFCFG On V3R7 Or
V4R1 (Optional)

New for V3R7 is the ability to specify three TCP/IP-related
parameters for PSF in a printer device description: RMTLOCNAME,

PORT

, and ACTTMR. In V3R2, CRTPSFCFG, which replaced

WRKAFP2

, was used to specify these same parameters, along with

other parameters. In V3R7 and higher, these three parameters are
ignored when specified in a PSF configuration object, since they
are specified in a printer device description. However, you may
wish to use a PSF configuration object to specify other parameters,
such as IPDS passthrough and so on.

The PSF configuration object created with this command is used by
PSF/400 when printing IPDS files only if the object is specified with
the USRDFNOBJ parameter in the printer device description.

To configure AS/400 for IPDS printing on V3R7 or V4R1:

1.

At the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:

CRTPSFCFG PSFCFG(AFP/printer_typeNETPRT)

IPDSPASTHR(*YES) RLSTMR(*SEC15)
TEXT(‘printer_type
NETWORK PRINTER’)

where printer_type

(e.g., T5000, P5000, L5520) is the

model of your printer.
