profile recipients and define how information is to be delivered to each (for
example, print, e-mail Web, archival, and linkage with other delivery
processes, such as facsimile).
Support for Web AFP and spooled file indexing and segmentation:
Infoprint Server provides portable AFP support for the iSeries. The new
Create AFP Data (CRTAFPDTA) command provides three critical functions:
– Converts print formatted with page definitions to AFP
– Creates a portable file by pulling in external fonts, page segments, and
overlays
– Inserts indexing to facilitate easy navigation when viewing the print file
Transforms for Web image (TIF, GIF, and JPEG) to iSeries image: The
standard Web, on demand business image formats are GIF, TIF, and JPEG.
Infoprint Server provides transforms (Windows-based) to convert those to
iSeries and AS/400 images (IOCA, page segments).
Transforms for network print data streams—PostScript, PCL, and
PDF—to AFP: The other key focus of Infoprint Server is iSeries management
of network output. Infoprint Server provides transforms for PCL, PostScript,
and PDF into AFP so output generated in those formats can be brought into
the iSeries and effectively managed to the printer. The PostScript and PDF
transforms are the result of joint development by IBM and Adobe and deliver
full-function Level 3 capability.
