Re: Printing images from the /400

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You will need to do a bit of reading on AFP to make this
work. Start looking at Printing VI and look at the chapter
6 on converting images to be used in AFP.(TIFF,JPEGS,etc)


You "might" fool around with various methods and get those
pictures to print, but AFP would make it a good bit more
easier to deal with.

When you want to deal "other" things outside of the normal data
stream, AFP is the answer in my opinion.

I would also recommend a fully supported IPDS printer. I would not
attempt to do this with a networked ascii printer(HP,Lexmark,etc).

In your case, more of everything is better.

PSF/400 is required for almost all networked printers and
is required to make the AFP magic work.

Note the document with "pictures" in the examples...
