RICOH Transform features

RICOH Transform features provide a powerful and cost-effective system for transforming jobs to or from the format for AFP printing.

The RICOH Transform features are:

  • PostScript/PDF to AFP

    Converts PDF and PostScript into AFP.

  • RICOH PCL to AFP

    Converts PCL into AFP.

  • RICOH SAP to AFP

    Converts SAP OTF and ABAP into AFP.

  • RICOH AFP to PDF

    Converts AFP into PDF.

All RICOH Transform features include image transforms (GIF to AFP, JPEG to AFP, and TIFF to AFP), which convert GIF, JPEG, and TIFF images to AFP. The APPE conversion tool is also installed with the RICOH Transform features.

The RICOH Transforms are invoked as jobs are processed using these step templates provided by the AFP Support feature:

  • TransformJobIntoAFP
  • TransformJobIntoPDF

Add one of those steps to a workflow and set the correct options on the Transform tab.

Prerequisite: AFP Support

    Note:
  • You cannot install the RICOH Transform features using Feature Manager.
  • You use the InfoPrint Transform Manager user interface and help system for some Transform configuration tasks. If you install more than one Transform feature, they share the InfoPrint Transform Manager interface.
  • A separate license key is required for each purchased transform.
