Re: AFP document translation -- MIDRANGE-L

Is the Toshibia actually connected as an AFP printer?

TYPE(*IPDS) AFP(*YES)

If not, the host print transform is being used to convert from AFP to PCL...

You should see similar results with any PCL printer..

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience with an issue I'm
currently experiencing. We are printing an AFP document to a Toshiba
multi-function printer. This printer is located in one of our plants,
which is on the other side of the country from our location. I'm needing
to make some modifications to it, so as you can imagine, it's a lot of
trial and error. I've had someone at the location where the printer is
physically print the document and take a picture of it and send it to me.
You can probably see where this is headed - the actual printed image and
what I can view via the AFP viewer or through ACS do not look the same.
There are small differences in location of fields, so it makes trying to
line things up properly really frustrating. Has anyone found some way to
view an AFP spool file in a way that reliably mimics what actually prints?
My guess is that there are as many different ways that it prints as there
are devices that it prints on. Any info on this wo
uld be MOST appreciated. Thanks!
