Re: AFPDS printer driver woes

[Paul Tykodi <ptykodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,

Further information regarding your 'clip unprintable'
question. The IBM AFP Driver supports a wide variety
of IBM AFP capable printers as targets.

The unprintable margins built into these hardware
printing devices are known to the AFP Printer Driver
software. The 'clip unprintable' option will remove
different amounts of space depending upon the target
IBM printer model (ex. 4028) or class (ex. IBM AFP 600
dpi) selected.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
