AFP PRINT FLOWS
D-2 DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE
VM print flow
1. CMS print command is issued.
2. CMS writes to a virtual printer.
3. CP intercepts the command and data.
4. CP spools the data to DASD.
5. When the specified printer is available according to job control
parameters, CP schedules the job to PSF.
6. PSF identifies and retrieves any necessary AFP resources
stored on DASD.
7. PSF composes the data stream into IPDS and directs the
output to a printer.
VSE print flow
1. The job is submitted to POWER.
2. POWER schedules the job for execution.
3. When the job is finished, POWER spools the output.
4. When a printer is available and the print criteria are met,
POWER submits the data to PSF.
5. PSF identifies and retrieves any necessary AFP resources
stored on DASD.
6. PSF directs the output to a printer. After PSF is finished, the job
is purged from POWER.
AS/400 data flow
PSF/400 accepts MO:DCA-P data streams, as well as SCS data
streams with DDS, IPDS, and line data.
OS/400 print flow
1. An application creates the print output.
2. OS/400 spools the output to DASD.
3. When the specified printer is available according to the job
parameters, PSF identifies and retrieves any necessary AFP
resources stored on DASD.
4. PSF composes the data stream into IPDS and directs the
output to the printer.
