RE: Printing images from the /400

Charles,

 Maybe this will convince you - from a v5r4 manual:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/books/s5445319.p
df

 Check out (printed) page 18, table 4 (it's on page 36 of the PDF.)  

Table 4. DDS Keywords that Require PSF
AFP resource (AFPRSC)

Mark,

I'm not convinced.

The v5r4 manual says specifically: "In order to print based on the
values specified for certain keywords, PSF is required. For example,
spooled files generated with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) can only be printed by
PSF."

The is most definitely not true as *AFPDS spool files can be printed to
*ASCII printers via HPT without PSF/400.

The fact remains, PSF/400 is not used when printing to *ASCII printers.

Now it's entirely possible that HPT doesn't handle this keyword, but I
don't see spelled out. 

If HPT doesn't handle this keyword, then to make use of it you'd need to
print it to an *IPDS AFP(*YES) printer which would indeed require
PSF/400.


HTH,
Charles

Charles,

 From the v5.3 manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.js
p?topic=/rzakd
/rzakdmstafprsc.htm

Note:
Feature PSF/400 is required for use of this keyword. If PSF/400 is not
installed, you will not be able to print files using this keyword and
specifying DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).

Doug,

I don't see anything about AFPRSC requiring PSF/400 in the 
DDS Reference
for printer files.

As I understand it, PSF/400 plays no role when printing *AFPDS spool
files to an *ASCII printer via HPT so I don't see why it would be
required.

Charles,

PSF/400 is _NOT_ required to print from the iSeries to *ASCII 
printers.


Sorry to not be more specific.  I was referring to the use of 
AFPRSC() for
adding TIFF images dynamically to the output.  In this 

case, I believe

PSF/400 is required, even if it is an ASCII printer.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Doug
