IBM S544-5351-03 Photo Scanner User Manual


 
Purpose of this Publication
This publication helps you to use the IBM PrintSuite for iSeries Advanced Print
Utility (APU). It focuses on the concepts of APU, using a series of application
examples to demonstrate how APU works.
APU has extensive on-line help; we do not duplicate that information here. For
details on the concepts of Advanced Function Presentation (AFP), refer to iSeries
Guide to AFP and PSF, S544-5319.
APU Enhancements
The following features have been made available by the current modification level
of APU:
1. Duplex Printing is now available. Refer to “Page Layout Options” on page 42
for a description of how the capability is used, including restrictions on its use.
2. Fields in the SNA Character String (SCS) file can now be mapped to multiple
locations. Refer to “Mapping a Field at Multiple Locations” on page 49.
3. Outline fonts are now included in the font set. Refer to “Outline Fonts” on
page 20.
4. The APU Monitor has been enhanced to include conditional processing
capabilities. Refer to Chapter 6, “Automatic Printing with APU Monitor” on
page 83.
Organization of the Manual
This manual is organized into three parts, as follows:
v Part 1 - Understanding and Preparing to use APU
The two chapters in this part introduce new APU users to the capabilities and
features of APU:
1. Introducing Advanced Print Utility describes what you can do with APU.
2. Preparing to use the Advanced Print Utility describes tasks you need to
perform before using APU. You are also given an orientation to using the
APU panels.
v Part 2 - Creating Print Definitions with APU
Each of the two chapters in this part provides you with a procedure for creating
a print definition. One chapter provides the procedure for creating a print
definition for a single-page document; the other for a multiple page document.
New APU users will find it useful to create a sample print definition using one
of these procedures before creating a production-level print definition.
v Part 3 - Printing with APU
The material in this part describes the concepts and procedures for printing your
documents once you have created a print definition.
