<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&trade; (IPDS&trade;) 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="notetitle" id="wq121">Note:</div>
<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>
