of AFP documents, as well as the ability to search, print, and fax what is viewed. In addition, the full AFP Workbench includes the IBM AFP Printer Driver for Windows. Use this standard Windows driver to create overlays and page segments from any Windows application.

Non-IBM document product tools, of which many exist, assist you in creating fonts, images, and overlays.

Initial APU Setup

APU provides for several levels of default print settings:

vAt the APU level

vAt the print definition level

vAt the copy level

At these levels, you can set print attributes and environment attributes, such as unit of measure, resource libraries, and default font family.

Note: You cannot set all attributes at all levels.

Use option 6 (Set APU Defaults) on the APU main menu to display the Set APU Defaults panel, which is shown in Figure 6.

Note: Refer to ªAPU Defaultsº on page 111 for some helpful hints on setting APU defaults.
