<h4 id="rzaluconwhyipt">Image print transform advantages</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are many advantages for using the image print transform function. </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support for Intelligent Printer Data Stream™ (IPDS™) printers
|
||
|
|
<p>Tag Image File Format (TIFF), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and Windows
|
||
|
|
Bitmap (BMP) image files, as well as PostScript Level 1 files, can be converted
|
||
|
|
to Advanced Function Presentation Data Stream format and printed on IPDS printers configured
|
||
|
|
AFP(*YES).</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support for ASCII printers
|
||
|
|
<p>TIFF, GIF, and BMP image files, as well
|
||
|
|
as PostScript Level 1 files, can be converted to PCL-5 and PostScript Level
|
||
|
|
1 format and printed on ASCII printers supporting these languages.</p>

<div class="notetitle" id="wq120">Note:</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">You cannot convert PostScript to PostScript using the image print
|
||
|
|
transform function. When the input and output data streams are PostScript,
|
||
|
|
the data is sent directly to the output destination without conversion.</div></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Customized printer support
|
||
|
|
<p>Image configuration objects are used with
|
||
|
|
the image print transform function to specify certain characteristics of the
|
||
|
|
converted data streams. When associated with the device description information
|
||
|
|
for a printer that is connected to an iSeries server, an image configuration
|
||
|
|
object acts as a template for the converted data stream. Attributes such as
|
||
|
|
data stream format, color, and resolution are all specified in the image configuration
|
||
|
|
object.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Additional capabilities
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to converting data from one format
|
||
|
|
to another, other functions can be performed by the image print transform
|
||
|
|
function. Among these are the ability to reduce color, compress data, and
|
||
|
|
change photometricity. For more information about the features of the image
|
||
|
|
print transform function, see the <a href="../apis/print1.htm">Print APIs</a> topic.</p>

|

|
<div class="notebody">You cannot perform functions that your printer does not
|
||
|
|
support. For example, you cannot print in landscape orientation when your
|
||
|
|
printer only supports portrait orientation.</div></li></ul>
