Glossary

Gateway

Gateways are Xprint V7.0 objects which allow the connection of an Xprint V7.0 domain with different systems (other Xprint V7.0 domains, BSD-UNIX systems, etc. Jobs can be exported as well as imported via gateways. There may be several gateways running simultaneously on one host.

HOME directory

This is the directory in which a user is located after logging in to the Outputware system.

Host

This is the central computer to which the terminals and printers of the users are connected. Under Xprint V7.0 every computer defined in an Xprint V7.0 domain is referred to as a host. Hosts are divided into three categories: master, slave and parasite hosts. The difference lies in the way each one handles the Xprint V7.0 database.

Job

See print job.

Job identifier

Every print job is automatically assigned a character combination called the job identifier when it is added to the print queue. This job ID is required to make changes to a submitted job.

Job template

A job template is an object which can store a sequence of specific options of the xpadd command which are used frequently for spooling in print jobs. If a user specifies this job template when submitting a print job, Xprint V7.0 automatically uses the predefined options of the template; this saves the user the effort of specifying frequently recurring option sequences again and again.

Loadable Resource

This is an Xprint V7.0 object that may be used for printing documents. Resources are data that are document independent and loaded to the printer separately from the user’s data. Documents can then call downloaded resources.
