When you create a print file for a Laser printer, use the PAGEDEF and FORMDEF parameters to specify formatting, and the CHARS parameter to specify the fonts.
At printing time, the Advanced Laser interface creates a formatted data stream using your print file and formatting modules loaded from IMAGELIB according to your parameters. These modules could be the samples supplied, or installation-written modules. They are not AFP modules, but they do provide functions similar to some of the functions provided by AFP modules.
If you define PAGEDEFs, FORMDEFs, and CHARS, which specify formatting similar to real AFP definitions, most line mode prints can be handled on printers supported by this interface as well as on AFP printers, and print files can be routed to either type. It is not possible to print formatted composed‑text files; only line data files are supported.
