What is offered in AFP Server?
The AFP Server software allows users to create AFP documents, page
segments, medium overlays, and AFP overlays on the client side
by printing their other type
of documents, such as Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint
slides, TIFF images and
JPEG / JPG business graphics, to the AFP Printer installed on a centralized print
server.
Once
users' documents are printed to the AFP Printer, the AFP version
documents are created and
stored in a specified folder on the print server.
What can I do with AFP files after created?
Several post-processing options are provided such as to print
the AFP files to a LaserJet or Inkjet printer, upload
the AFP files to a FTP server, copy the AFP files to a
local folder of choice or a network location with UNC name,
email the AFP files, convert the AFP files to
PDF documents, log the creation activities of the AFP
files, and more.
You can integrate your own post-processing
applications by providing the executable file name and parameters.
