System Overview Guide 5-5
IPDS data stream
All IPDS resources (print data sets, page definitions, form
definitions, page segments, fonts, and overlays) that are
supported by the IBM 3825 and 3827 printers are supported by
the Xerox software. Additionally, the data towers that are
supported within the AFP environment by the IBM 3825 and IBM
3827 printers are fully supported by the software. Data towers
supported are:
• IM Image IMD1
• FOCA: Font Object Content Architecture
• MO:DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for
Presentation
• PTOCA PT1, PT2, and PT3: Presentation Text Object
Content Architecture
• IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture
• GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture
• BCOCA: Bar code Object Content Architecture
• OL1: Overlay One
• PS1: Page Segment One
• Line mode data streams
Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing
delimiting fields with structured fields describing each object.
Software features for IPDS
This section describes some of the software features for IPDS
printing.
IOCA Replicate and Trim
The printer supports Replicate and Trim, which improves the
processing of IM and IO images that contain large areas of
shaded graphics. (IM images are resolution-dependent images
that cannot be compressed or scaled; IO images are resolution-
independent.)
