Can ISIS AFP products only be used with IBM printers ?
No. Even though the strategic ISIS architecture is AFP, which is IBM defined, it supports printers from all major manufacturers. As the advantage of AFP is the standard interface between applications and the printer HW, there needs to be a ‘Print Management Software’ used at the time of print. On the IBM platforms, this is IBM PSF for IPDS printers. Other manufacturers like ISIS, I-data, Levi, Ray and Shoup, Xerox and Siemens have AFP compatible print drivers and more are to be expected in time.
