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. Infoprint Server lets you print to these printers. This can increase performance over printing to PCL printers because the PDF output is not converted to an image before printing, while PCL data is.
