IPDS printing environment
5-6 System Overview Guide
The IOCA Replicate and Trim capability allows for faster
transmission to the printer of AFP applications with IM images
that have large or widespread shaded areas. It also reduces the
storage area required on the host and on the printer.
Trace facility
To help diagnose problems, the system provides a trace
mechanism. Trace files store system configuration information,
maintain TCP/IP protocol headers, and time-stamp all records.
For detailed information on this feature, refer to the “Using utility
commands” chapter in the Guide to Configuring and Managing
the System .
Overstrike, underscore, subscript, and superscript
Support for the PT2 Subset of PTOCA enables the printer to
print overstrikes, underscores, subscripts, and superscripts
where specified in jobs.
Color image support
Some IM1 images (for example, logos) can be converted to
IOCA for resolution correction. The bi-level IOCA feature enables
such IM1 images to be printed in color on the highlight-color
printer. PSF does not strip the color information from the print
job.
Also supported are JPEG compressed IOCA, as well as JPEG
and EPS files in object containers.
NOTE: Hosts may not support JPEG files in object containers.
Background color for OCA colors
Users can specify COLOR on DRAWBOX (i.e., background
color) as long as the color is restricted to colors defined with the
OCA model.
