files. For more information refer to the description of the DTAFMT<br />

AFPDS (Advanced Function Printing Data Stream) spool files are made for printer devices<br />

with AFP(*YES), which can only be printed out by IPDS printers.. This feature gives the<br />

possibility of printing advanced print consisting of lines, frames, different font types etc. directly<br />

from an application program. By using this transformation feature it is possible to print out<br />

these advanced definitions on an ordinary PCL printer.<br />

Output queue/<br />

library: Output from the transformation will become a spool entry by the type<br />

*USERASCII. This output queue must therefore have a PCL printer<br />

attached which is defined as a *3812 device. If a specific queue and<br />

Printer type have been defined in the previous screen, the keyword<br />

*DEFAULT will be preset for this field. This is overwritten when entering<br />

a queue and a library here. Note that the keyword *DEFAULT apply to<br />

®<br />

both Output queue, library and <strong>InterForm</strong>400 printer type.<br />

Printer type: A PCL printer type according to the choices listed on page (see page<br />

408).<br />

Note, if you want to make use of this feature to transform AFPDS spool entries into<br />

*USERASCII, and these AFPDS spool files are using resource libraries not listed in the system<br />

library list, then the APF3812/AUTO_FORM job description must be changed in order to<br />

include these libraries in the library list.<br />

� WARNING �<br />

The transformation can not convert bar codes and AFP images into PCL. These definitions<br />

will just be ignored in the process.<br />

� TIP �<br />

AFPDS spooled files can also be used as input directly in <strong>InterForm</strong>400. Then however only<br />

the text visible via DSPSPLF will be used while any graphical elements are ignored and are to<br />

be added in <strong>InterForm</strong>400.
