Re: AFP page segment printing

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I "believe" the current rules for any printer with
a description of *IPDS "requires" a PSF/400 lic.

Find the manual on printing to verify that...

It gets a little fuzzy on what you can and can not
do with AFP features. The manual is your best bet.

or

USE HPT and avoid almost all those problems.

Compile your printer dds with *AFPDS and shoot the
output to any laser that is running HPT. Again the
manual is your bible on this subject. Device descriptions
do make a BIG difference in HPT, so read up in the
printing manual.
