<h2 id="rzau6configpsf">Configure PSF</h2>
<p>You can configure Print Services Facility&trade; (PSF) by using the printer device description or by using a PSF configuration
object.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Configure PSF by using a device description</span></p>
<p>To use PSF, you must specify AFP(*YES) in the printer device description.</p>
<p>Other parameters in the device description affect how PSF works with Advanced Function Presentation&trade; (AFP&trade;). For example, you can specify these options: </p>
<ul>
<li>The maximum number of print requests that can be queued for printers.</li>
<li>Whether a file using AFP must be completely converted to IPDS&trade; before printing
begins.</li>
<li>How long to wait after a print request has been received before forcing
the last pages of the output into the paper stacker. This is for continuous
forms printers only.</li>
<li>A default form definition to use.</li>
<li>A PSF configuration object to use.</li></ul>
<p><span class="bold">Configure PSF by using a PSF configuration object</span></p>
<p>A PSF configuration object is an extension of the printer device description.
You can use a PSF configuration object to specify device configuration options
that you cannot specify with the device description. For example, with a PSF
configuration object you can specify these:</p>
<ul>
<li>A library list for PSF to use to search for resources</li>
<li>When PSF should release a session with a printer</li>
<li>Whether to automatically take advantage of outline fonts</li>
<li>Whether to generate Portable Document Format (PDF) output from the spooled
file</li></ul>
<p>To use a PSF configuration object, follow these steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Create a PSF configuration object by using the Create PSF Configuration
Object (CRTPSFCFG) command or by using AFP Manager:
<ol type="a">
<li>Start an iSeries&trade; Navigator session.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="bold">My Connections</span> (or your active environment).</li>
<li>Expand <span class="bold">AFP Manager</span>.
<p>If you do not have an AFP Manager
icon, install AFP Manager as follows: Right-click <span class="bold">My Connections</span> (or your active environment) and select <span class="bold">Install Options</span> then <span class="bold">Selective Setup</span>.</p></li>
<li>Right-click <span class="bold">PSF configurations</span> and select <span class="bold">New</span>.</li>
<li>Specify the options you want. For help on any page, press F1. Select <span class="bold">OK</span>.</li></ol></li>
<li>Specify the PSF configuration object by following the steps in the <a href="rzau6speccfg.htm#rzau6speccfg">Specify a PSF configuration object</a> topic.</li></ol>
