Each software environment has specific operating system and AFP program requirements. For a list of the programs that are required for a particular environment, refer to the corresponding Print Services Facility (PSF) publications listed in Advanced Function Presentation: Printer Information, G544-3290. Also see Advanced Function Presentation Licensed Programs for a listing of AFP software.
