Glossary

Backend

This is a driver program responsible for controlling printers. In addition, it is responsible for error recovery and printer status information.

Character set

The letters, digits, punctuation marks and symbols available for a font.

Direct printing

Under Xprint V7.0 you do not necessarily have to place a print job in the print queue. You can also send a print job directly to a printer; in this case, however, the job cannot be modified after submission.

Encrypted files

The Encrypted File System (EFS) introduced in Windows 2000 is used to prevent unhautorized access to sensitive stored data.

Fast filter

This is a program which enhances the functionality of Xprint V7.0. Above all, fast filters are used to enhance the backend program, i.e. their main function is to detect feedback messages from the printer and to pass them on to the responsible supervisor in a form it can understand. They are executed between the supervisor and the printer when the job is being printed.

Filter

A filter is a program which enhances the functionality of Xprint V7.0. The system differentiates between fast filters and slow filters.

Font

Fonts are Xprint V7.0 objects which combine the different pieces of font information (typeface, style, character pitch, line spacing, print quality and character set) under one name.

Form

This is an Xprint V7.0 object with which you can have documents output in a predefined layout.
