IBM licensed programs: Printing and document handling products 781
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPDoc.fm
Infoprint Designer is integrated in three ways:
– Design functions are integrated with automatic retrieval of application data
and automatic upload and creation of print resources.
– You design iSeries page resources in native formats.
– The application resources enable the designed print application to be put
into production with a simple printer file change.
Under the covers, Infoprint Designer defines the format of pages with page
and form definition resource objects. These are part of the iSeries and
AS/400 print architecture. Designing with these resources is application
independent (unlike DDS). They are also compatible with existing or new
applications that define output data with DDS. With V5, OS/400 automatically
writes these applications as full AFP (ensuring viewing and PCL support).
