NOTE: The lines in bold in Figure 43 are not used by PSF/400.

Instead, PSF/400 uses the information entered in the
device description screen.

3.

The following parameters are recommended:

a.

PSF configuration (PSFCFG)

The name used for this PSF configuration object. The
name must match the user-defined object name
(USRDFNOBJ) in the printer DEVD.

b.

IPDS pass through (IPDSPASTHR)

To print SCS files, specify *YES, PSF/400 transforms SCS
into IPDS before printing.

c.

Activate release timer (ACTRLSTMR)

Specifies the point at which the release timer (RLSTMR) is
activated. Set to *NORDYF.

d.

Release timer (RLSTMR)

Specifies the amount of time to wait before a session or
dialog is released without terminating the writer. The

ACTRLSTMR

parameter specifies when this timer is to be

activated. Set the parameter to a value at least equal to the
TIMEOUT value on the printer. The recommended value is

*SEC15

This section describes how to create a printer device description.

1.

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

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(

printer_type) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS)

MODEL(0) LANATTACH(*IP) AFP(*YES) PORT(5001)
FONT(11) FORMFEED(*CONT)
RMTLOCNAME(‘128.9.12.134’)
USRDFNOBJ(AFP/5000NETPRT *PSFCFG)
TEXT(‘

Where printer_type

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

model of your printer.
