form definitions. This separates page formatting from the line-of-business application. In addition, with Infoprint Designer for iSeries, you have a graphical design interface for these applications. Infoprint Server addresses the requirement to take print applications with page definition and form definition formatting and transform them into final-form AFP. This lets them be easily printed and viewed by ″downstream″ processes. Workstation users want to integrate Web and client images into iSer

Better Access to IPDS Printers In today’s network environments, workstation users are often limited to personal and LAN printers. Infoprint Server lets any user in the network send print jobs in a wide range of formats from OS/400 and LAN clients to IPDS printers attached to OS/400. Handle Print Jobs Effectiv

Print to PDF Printers When IPDS printers are not required, businesses need access to ASCII printers. Without Infoprint Server, OS/400 supports printing iSeries output on PCL printers. A new generation of printers, such as the IBM Infoprint 21, IBM Infoprint 45, and IBM Infoprint 70 support printing PDF directly. Infop
