Boost productivity by migrating legacy applications that contain Xerox LDCS and metacode data to IBM AFP printers.
With IBM Infoprint® XT Extender, you can migrate Xerox legacy applications to the de facto industry standard IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) technology and implement a highly productive solution.
By keeping your print environment on z/OS® while migrating to AFP, you can eliminate the need to connect and learn a new operating system to migrate your printer from Xerox to AFP. By using Infoprint XT, you can convert your Xerox applications to AFP without rewriting print management code of existing applications, support multiple printer technologies and help lower your total cost of ownership for print.
For businesses moving from traditional print to electronic distribution, Infoprint XT Extender adds flexibility to handle various formats and to incorporate printers and output management solutions from multiple vendors.
Facilitate migration to cut-sheet or high-speed continuous forms printers.
