Client configuration files
Sample PostScript or PDF client configuration file (ps2afp.cfg) shows an example of a configuration file for the PostScript and PDF transforms. The configuration file for the PCL transform is similar, although it does not contain a pcl_server_timeout keyword. As a result, the PCL transform does not support the -s flag from the command line for the pcl2afp command described in Hierarchy of transform options.

The configuration file uses keyword equivalents of the transform flags. See RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Reference for the keywords and values that you can specify in the configuration file.
