Converting

With the availability of Advanced Function Presentation, you may want to review your general approach to printed output to get maximum benefit from the new functions. Your application development staff may want to begin planning for this conversion effort before the printer is installed. Typical tasks to consider include:

• Changing font character sets
• Converting line-printer applications to page-printer applications
• Converting preprinted forms to electronic overlays
• Creating new applications by using electronic overlays
• Enhancing existing applications to take advantage of printer functions
• Investigating applications that have special programming requirements, for example, printer Direct-Attach.
