InfoPrint® Transform Manager for AIX®, Linux and Windows® is designed to improve print production productivity and help lower total cost of print. A datastream and image transform solution, InfoPrint Transform Manager can accelerate Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) workflow and improve device utilisation.

Complex variable data, images and print files may need to be converted to take advantage of secure and reliable AFP printing. Traditional processing methods can create transform bottlenecks and slow down printing. InfoPrint Transform Manager automatically and transparently offloads Adobe® PDF (both PDF to AFP and AFP to PDF), PostScript®, PCL, SAP (OTF and ABAP) and image transforms (TIFF, GIF and JPEG) to a dedicated system for processing and then returns jobs for printing.
