Introduction to Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 elements

2.4.1Xprint V7.0 objects

Xprint V7.0 is an object-oriented system. This is also reflected in the way Xprint V7.0 is used. Almost all the Xprint V7.0 commands can be used with the different object types, which is why the number of Xprint V7.0 commands is relatively low. The following section provides an overview of the available objects and their use.

The following objects are defined in Xprint V7.0. The parentheses contain the short name of the Xprint V7.0 objects for use in Xprint V7.0 commands:

●The Xprint V7.0 system (-sys)

The Xprint V7.0 system refers to all the Xprint V7.0 objects which are combined in a common administrative unit, what is called an Xprint V7.0 domain. Within the Xprint V7.0 system the Xprint V7.0 administrator is allowed to perform all the administrative tasks.

●Gateways (-gtw)

Gateways allow you to make a connection from one Xprint V7.0 domain to another Xprint V7.0 domain or to other spooler systems. Via these gateways you can use the output devices and device groups of the other system involved.

Gateways to DPRINT (spooler system for BS2000 systems) or BSD spooler systems (spooler systems supporting the BSD lpr protocol) allow users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain to access the output devices and device groups in these spooler systems. Conversely, it is also possible to access the printers and printer groups of the local Xprint V7.0 domain from DPRINT and BSD spooler systems.

Exchanging data with DPRINT requires that the local gateway be defined on a platform which has openFT installed.

●Hosts (-hos)

Under Xprint V7.0 the term host refers to every computer defined in an Xprint V7.0 domain. Hosts are divided into different classes: master, slave and parasite hosts. The difference lies in the way they handle the Xprint V7.0 database.
