It provides an attachment-independent interface for controlling and managing [[all points addressable]] (APA) printers that allows the presentation of pages containing an architecturally unlimited mixture of different data types, including text, image, graphics, bar code and object container. It is used by a variety of InfoPrint and [[OEM]] [[print server]]s that drive all points addressable (APA) page printers.
