CRTeurope is providing a smooth
migration path and cost effective solution for moving Xerox print
documents to the Advanced Function Printing (AFPDS) format. PRO
META to AFP product integrates seamlessly
with IBM's InfoPrint Manager and OnDemand products. Often,
in today's print service market, providers need to move applications
from Xerox platforms to IBM printers and controllers. By converting
Xerox applications to AFP also eliminates then need to support
both Xerox and IBM printer hardware and software. PRO
META to AFP converts both Xerox Metacode and LCDS formats.
PRO META to AFP performs
an object-to-object transformation creating an optimized and
compatible AFP file. This permits products like StreamWeaver
and others to process the transformed files without any difficulties.
With PRO META to AFP, superior image
fidelity is achieved. Fonts, images, logos and forms appear
exactly the same on AFP printers as they do on Xerox printers.
PRO META to AFP dynamically
transforms fonts to AFP, providing superior font fidelity. The
key to the power and flexibility of PRO META
to AFP is the way it manages print resources by automatically
converting them into AFP resources thereby simplifying the implementation
process.
PRO META to AFP contains
support for an extensive array of Xerox print resources including
Xerox bitmap fonts, images and macros. Resources are placed
into Resource Groups, which can be embedded or put into a separate
file. This design enables Windows and Unix applications to get
their AFP data optimized. Index entries can be automatically
inserted into AFP files when they are converted thus making
it possible to use the output files with archival systems such
as IBM's OnDemand product.
