Can you tell me more about the support for spot color processing
(BESTE Bunch post-processing device) that was announced for PSF for
AIX Version 2 (5765-505)? Is it available for PSF/6000 Version 1
(5765-140) as well?
A:
Yes, PSF/6000 V1.2 (with a PTF) and PSF for AIX V2.1 have added SMM
support for the Advanced Post Processing Feature (#4720). This means you
can now attach the BESTE Bunch color imprinter. Here's more information:
Description:
------------
PSF/6000 now supports the Advanced Function Post Processing Interface
Feature #4720 for the attachment of postprocessing devices to such AFP
printers as the IBM 3900. Feature #4720 permits attachment of
post-processing devices that provide color plate imprinting of fixed
information such as logos and letterheads, or punching, cutting, and
perforating, or other postprocessor defined operations.
PSF/6000 provides SMM support for Feature #4720 and the attached
postprocessor devices. For postprocessing that is selectable from a
print job, the SMM post-printing options can be specified in a FORMDEF
resource using PPFA/6000. (See the IBM Page Printer Formatting
Aid/6000: User's Guide.)
Operations:
-----------
The printer operator must setup the postprocessors to match the SMM ID
operations named in the FORMDEF associated with a print job. A
dedicated print queue, associated with each FORMDEF requiring special
setup considerations, can be defined and placed under operator control.
The printer paper path may include the postprocessor devices. For
continuous forms printing, this affects when the last page of a print
job is considered stacked. If short print jobs have not cleared the
paper path and the associated PSF/6000 queue device, the printer
operator may need to 'Stop' then 'Ready' the printer when no additional
jobs will push the short jobs to the stacker.
If a FORMDEF associated with a print job specifies SMM IDs which are
not available, PSF/6000 cancels the print job.
I hope that helps. Closing.
