PRO Meta to AFP
Crawford Technologies is providing a smooth migration path and cost effective solution for moving Xerox print documents to the Advanced Function Printing (AFPDS) format.
PRO Meta to AFP product integrates seamlessly with IBM's InfoPrint Manager and OnDemand products.
Often, in today's print service market, providers need to move applications from Xerox platforms to IBM printers and controllers.
By converting Xerox applications to AFP also eliminates then need to support both Xerox and IBM printer hardware and software.
PRO Meta to AFP converts both Xerox Metacode and LCDS formats.
PRO Meta to AFP performs an object-to-object transformation creating an optimized and compatible AFP file.
This permits products like StreamWeaver and others to process the transformed files without any difficulties.
With PRO Meta to AFP, superior image fidelity is achieved. Fonts, images, logos and forms appear exactly the same on AFP printers as they do on Xerox printers.
PRO Meta to AFP dynamically transforms fonts to AFP, providing superior font fidelity. The key to the power and flexibility of PRO Meta to AFP is the way it manages print
resources by automatically converting them into AFP resources thereby simplifying the implementation process.
PRO Meta to AFP contains support for an extensive array of Xerox print resources including Xerox bitmap fonts, images and macros. Resources are placed into Resource Groups, which can be embedded or put into a separate file.
This design enables Windows and Unix applications to get their AFP data optimized. Index entries can be automatically inserted into AFP files when they are converted thus making it possible to use the output files with archival systems such as IBM's OnDemand product.
PRO Meta to AFP can be used for the following:
|
Printing on any AFP-compatible printer
AFP standardization
Disaster recovery
Reprinting
