6.10.1 Adding filters

With the xpadd -fltcommand you can add a new filter to your system. A filter can be added with specific attributes, e.g. input and output data formats and special modes. The filters suitable for a job are selected according to these attributes.

There are two possible ways of adding a new slow or fast filter: you can either create a filter from scratch by setting all the required options yourself or you can copy a similar filter and modify the relevant options.

i

As already mentioned, you can choose between slow and fast filters. By default the system uses slow filters (-tp SLOW). To use fast filters, you must always specify the -tp FAST option.

Creating a new slow filter

●To add a new slow filter for use in the Xprint V7.0 system, enter the following command:

xpadd -fltfilter_name -cmcommand -itinput_content_type \ -otoutput_content_type -op[options]
