Notes
AFP systems use a "FormDef" resource to process the datastream which EscapeE can generate automatically. The default set-up is a one-to-one mapping from the PCL tray number to the AFP tray number. Alternatively, Users may choose to construct the FormDef manually using Medium Map names and correlating them with the appropriate trays and 'plexing'. Note that medium maps have names of up to eight characters.
It is recommended that you use compression option CCITT group 4.
