353.1 Introduction[//]

The print process consists of three steps:

·                creating a temporary output file;

·                reviewing the temporary output file and converting it to a definitive output file;

·                printing the definitive output file.

AFO 353 controls the management of the last phase of this process, the actual printing.

The SSP print module is used to print the file. This gives you the freedom to determine the lay-out for each type of output file. See the description of AFO 363 (‘Define serials claims layout’).
