Font Handling
PRO PS to Metacode provides the utmost
flexibility for font utilization. Superior font management is
the key to providing a successful print transform program.
PRO PS to Metacode supports the conversion
of PostScript fonts into standard Xerox fonts.
PRO
PS to Metacode converts PostScript fonts into Xerox fonts
and automatically downloads them to the printer with each job.

Windows Printing
Once PRO PS to Metacode has been installed,
users can print to Xerox printers in exactly the same way as they
print to other PostScript printers, but instead of directing output
to a port connection, users print to a file. Users can optionally
tag the output file with the Xerox printer capabilities they want
to use. |

Printing the Converted
Xerox Metacode File
The Xerox Metacode file created by PRO PS to
Metacode can be sent to a Xerox LPS printer for printing
using several methods. If the Xerox printer has a network interface,
then the print file can be sent to the printer by the PRO
Transform Manager. Other Output Management Software, such
as the IBM Infoprint Manager or Nearstar Dynamic Data Server can
also be used to send the print files to Xerox printers. If the
printer has an online channel interface, it can be attached to
the LAN using a PC with a channel interface from one of a number
of vendors such as Barr Systems. The printing operation can be
done under operator control or can be automated, depending on
the capabilities of the interface software. |

PRO Indexer option
The PRO Indexer option allows
users to select and extract pertinent data from within the print-stream
while a document is being processed. The generated Index files
can be in a variety of formats including Comma Separated Variables
(CSV), Fixed Length Records and a User Defined File Format. Any
number of index keys can be extracted. After selection, fields
can be manipulated as required before being written to the index
file. The PRO Indexer can
also be used to "scrape" all or selected fields of text
and place it an index file or text file. |

PRO Text option
The PRO Text option allows users to create text files from PostScript
files, which contain all of the text from the original input file.
In addition, this output file can identify the actual fonts used
for each field. This text file can be used for display on 3270
screens without graphics capability. These files can also be used
with software that cannot handle PostScript formatted data. |
