Creating index tags

You can create index tags in AFP files. When a file contains index tags, you can use the RICOH ProcessDirector viewer to navigate in the file to find specific data. You can also use the index tag values in barcode data, and to assign values to document properties.
The index tag values you choose can be used in the Jump to and Print again pages in RICOH ProcessDirector to navigate to a specific page in the file or to reprint a page group in the job. You can also use the index tag values in barcode data if AFP Editor is installed, and you can use the index tag values to assign values to document properties if Document Property Designer is installed.
