+ <p>
+ There are still a big number of older (or limited) MO:DCA/IPDS environments in production
+ out there. AFP has grown in functionality over time and not every environment supports the
+ latest features. We're trying to make AFP output work in as many environments as possible.
+ However, to make AFP output work on older environments it is recommended to set to
+ configuration to 1 bit per pixel (see below on how to do this). In this case, all images
+ are converted to bi-level images using IOCA function set 10 (FS10). If a higher number of
+ bits per pixel is configured, FOP has to switch to at least FS11 which may not work
+ everywhere.
