Introduction to SRA IPDS
Introduction
The imagePRESS C7010VPS series contains SRA version 14 controller technology. The SRA print
controller represents the next generation of the Océ Scalable Raster Architecture (SRA) series.
This SRA technology is integrated in the PRISMAsync controller. The SRA technology adds the
IPDS Page Description Language and the Adobe PDF Print Engine for Adobe PDF inside IPDS
containers (licensed features) to the imagePRESS C7010VPS series.
SRA IPDS uses APPE version 2.6 Patch 2.
Advanced Function Presentation (AFP)
Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) is an IBM architecture and family of associated host and
printer, software and hardware. The architecture consists of a set of rules and conventions
governing creation, viewing, printing and control of data types like text, font, image, graphics, bar
code, fax and colour.
The AFP data stream (AFPDS) provides document and information presentation control,
independently of applications and devices. The interchange architecture, called MO:DCAP (Mixed
Object Document Content Architecture-Presentation), makes information interchange possible
among different platforms like IBM mainframe and AS/400.
AFP Printing
In the figure below, the basic components of AFP printing are depicted. The right side of the
figure shows the most common used data streams processed by AFP. The left side of the figure
shows the five types of resources. The data stream and resources are processed by the Print
Service Facility (PSF).
The PSF is the printer driver programme which:
• Takes the data from the system spool,
• Combines it with the resources needed to print,
• Sends the result to the printer,
• Manages resources,
• Supports error recovery.
