Limitations

Here are the limitations:
  • PostScript data can contain device commands (for example, to begin or end duplexing or to change the input bin). Because the AFP architecture defines those device functions in a form definition resource instead of the print data, the PostScript to AFP transform ignores the device commands in the print data. To access those device functions (such as duplexing and bin selection), you must specify them in the form definition or attributes file, or on a print command, when you print the job.
  • Resolution conversion algorithms may yield degraded appearance when used to reduce the resolution of a data stream. For this reason, PostScript to AFP might degrade the appearance of higher-resolution data streams when used with 240-pel printers. You should verify that print fidelity is satisfactory.
