Re: Printing images from the /400

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...

Doug,

Would it matter whether this is going to an *IPDS or *ASCII type printer? The target printers speak PCL5/6.

 Is PSF/400 required for this to work?
