|
Print Stream Support
PRO META to PS is
based on the PRO Meta interpreter that supports all of the Xerox
centralized printer capabilities including:
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Xerox metacode output from applications
such as DocuMerge, Compuset, CSF and XICS. |
|
| |
|
|
|
LCDS print streams |
|
| |
|
|
|
Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDE) |

|
|
Job Source Language (JSL) |
|
| |
|
|
|
Highlight Color applications |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
In addition, PRO
META to PS has been enhanced to be a replacement for the
Xerox Remote Print Management Facility (RPMF) Print Management
Utility (PMU). |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Resource Support
PRO META to PS contains support for an extensive array
of Xerox print resources including:
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Xerox fonts (FNT)
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Xerox logos (LGO) |
|

Font Handling
Superior font management is the key to providing a successful
print transform program and PRO META to PS
provides the utmost flexibility for font utilization.
PRO META to PS provides several methods
for handling fonts, which can be mixed and matched as appropriate.
The user can:
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Automatically convert Xerox fonts into
PostScript fonts and download them to the printer with each job.
The PRO META to PS font conversion utility supports the conversion
of fonts from the Xerox centralized print format into standard
PostScript Type 3 bitmap fonts.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Provide a table to map between Xerox
fonts and PostScript fonts PRO META to PS offers an option of
mapping Xerox fonts to PostScript fonts. This eliminates the need
for downloading the soft fonts in the document when they are needed.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
This option can be used for Xerox fonts
which have equivalents in PostScript fonts. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Logo Handling
As with fonts, PRO META to PS provides
the utmost flexibility for Xerox logos (.LGO) utilization. PRO
META to PS provides the same methods of handling logos
as it does for fonts. These methods can be mixed and matched as
appropriate for different logos and applications.
The
user can:
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Automatically convert Xerox logos into
PostScript fonts and download them to the printer with each job
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Provide a table to map between Xerox
logos and PostScript printer based fonts |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Image Handling
PRO META to PS automatically
converts Xerox images and .IMG files into PostScript compressed
images and embeds the images in the output PostScript file. The
user can optionally have PRO META to PS
store the converted PostScript image in a library for future print
jobs, thus increasing performance.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Form Management
PRO META to PS provides
a very efficient and simple method of managing Xerox forms (.FRM).
Xerox forms are stored in a library on the host. During the transform
process, these forms are loaded, as they are needed. PRO
META to PS then accesses any resources
that are needed for these forms and processes them automatically.
Finally, the text on each form is put into a PostScript resource
object which is stored in the printer and accessed when it is
needed in the document. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Output Format
The
output PostScript can be optimized through a number of run-time
options which control the way that fonts are managed and the way
that the PostScript is constructed. For example, shading patterns
can be made darker or lighter as needed. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Transform Control Options
Because PRO META
to PS was designed with an extensive set
of control options, every facet of the transform process is controlled.
Therefore, PRO META to PS
is a fit for many different environments. |
