Infoprint Print Transform

The architecture of Infoprint Print Transform centers on three main components: the AFP Input component, the Transformation Engine, and the Output component. The AFP Input component receives the AFP data stream, which can originate from various sources. The Transformation Engine is the core of the product, responsible for converting the AFP data into the selected output format.

This engine uses a set of configurable parameters to control the transformation process, including font mapping, page size, and other formatting options. The Output component then generates the transformed output, which can be in formats such as PDF, PCL, AFP, or PostScript. Communication between these components is managed internally within the Infoprint Server environment.

The product does not use a separate database or storage mechanism for its core operations, relying on the Infoprint Server for job management and output storage. Network requirements are primarily defined by the Infoprint Server configuration, including the ports used for print job submission and output retrieval. The product integrates with the z/OS operating system and leverages its security features, including authentication and access control.
