IPS APPLICATION MIGRATION

Images

When you print AFP documents that contain 240 pel images to DocuPrint IPS printers set to run in 300 dpi mode, PSF converts the IM images to IOCA image format. Using the Resolution option on the DocuPrint IPS user interface, you can specify that the document print at 240 or 300 dpi (or 600 dpi on DocuPrint 92C, 96, 180, 4635 IPS systems).

The print quality of any images you currently use with AFP may depend on how they were created originally. For example, you may have created an image at 240 pel resolution but, when converted to 300 dpi, it may not look like it did originally. However, a different image created at 240 pel resolution may look the same when converted and printed.

The DocuPrint IPS printers use an algorithm to convert 240 pel images to 300 dpi. To determine if this internal conversion will produce the quality of output you require, print a test document to the DocuPrint IPS printer. Look at the document to decide if the print quality is as clear as you’d like it to be. If so, you may continue using the image without making any changes. However, if the print quality is not satisfactory, you should either regenerate or rescan the image at 300 dpi.

Color IM-type images

If you are running PSF/MVS, you can print IM images in color to a DocuPrint IPS printer as described in Table 4-1. If the IM resolution and the printer resolution do not match, conversion by PSF strips the color bit from the data stream.

1.“PGD units” is the page dimension structured field that indicates the unit of measure for the page.

2.This column applies only to the PSF/MVS platform. Other PSF platforms have not been tested.

3.600 dpi resolution applies only to the DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS, MIICR versions of these printers, and the 92C IPS.
