|
||
|
|
<p>A form definition is an Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) resource object that defines the characteristics of the physical
|
||
|
|
form to be printed on, including these: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Overlays to be used</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Position of page data on the form</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Rotation</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Duplexing</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Input drawer</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Formfeed type</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Print quality</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Number of copies of each page and the modifications that apply to each
|
||
|
|
set of copies</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Whenever you are printing to a printer configured as AFP(*YES), a form
|
||
|
|
definition is required. If you do not specify a form definition on the printer
|
||
|
|
file, an inline form definition is built from the printer file parameters.
|
||
|
|
If you specify a form definition, no inline form definition is built from
|
||
|
|
the printer file parameters. In this case, if you send the data to an AFP printer, Print Services Facility™ (PSF) ignores some printer file
|
||
|
|
parameters.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This list details the origin of AFP-related form definitions: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Provided with the iSeries server</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Created with the IBM® Infoprint® Designer for iSeries licensed program</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Downloaded from zSeries®</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Inline from zSeries</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Created automatically from printer file parameters</li></ul>
