Papyrus AFP PrinterDriver

Solution Description

The Papyrus AFP PrinterDriver offers an effective way to integrate your PC generated documents (e.g. MS-Word, Excel, QuarkXpress, PageMaker, WordPerfect, etc.) into a corporate wide printing strategy. By generating the platform and printer independent AFP document format including document index, advanced processing capabilities become available. This includes bundling of PC generated documents with centralized document automation and management.
