Configuring as AIX or PSF Other printers to use Send and Save

If you define these printer models as either AIX or PSF Other actual destinations, you can take advantage of the Send and Save options to enhance printer throughput.

To pass data streams through InfoPrint Manager to the printer without transforming them, complete these steps:

  1. From the main window of the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI, select Printer → Create → AIX or PSF Other destinations.
  2. Fill in the necessary fields in the Create Printer Wizard to create an actual destination for these printers. See "Creating and managing actual destinations" in InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started for detailed instructions.
    Note: You must install the pioibmdpm backend that comes with these printers in order to ensure accurate job accounting. When the Create Printer Wizard prompts you for a Printer Command, you can specify one similar to this for the InfoPrint 2105ES Printer: 
    /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/pioibmdpm 9.99.99.51
    where 9.99.99.51 is the printer's IP address. The port for the pioibmdpm backend defaults to 2501 and does not have to be specified.
  3. If you have created a PSF Other destination, select Printer → Properties.
  4. Select the Documents tab and make sure that the Formats to RIP at destination field is set to pass PostScript or PCL data streams.
