Re: Multi Up Printing

[Paul Tykodi <ptykodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

The following information is listed on page 92 of the
iSeries Printer Device Programming Version 5 Manual
SC41-5713-06 and is copyright IBM.

"Limitations of AFP-to-ASCII transform function 

Currently, the AFP to ASCII transform has the
following limitations: 

* It does not support graphics (GOCA) commands 
* It does not support multi-up printing 
* It does not provide support for computer output
reduction (COR) printing 
* It ignores the fidelity attribute of the spooled
file and always performs content printing 
* It can only produce 240 dpi images and 300 dpi
images * It does not support color images (IOCA or
IM). 
* It does not support two-dimensional bar codes.
MaxiCode, Data Matrix, and PDF-417 are examples of 2D
bar codes."

The Multi-Up parameter is supported when the data
stream device type is *AFPDS or *IPDS and the target
printer is an IPDS capable printer.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
