Mackie V7.0 manual Using Public Loadable Resources

Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options

Loadable resources (such as fonts, logos etc.) can be sent to the printer separately from the document. The printer will merge the data and the loadable resource to give the required printed output.

The resources external to the document can be defined as Xprint V7.0 objects called “loadable resources”. They can either be predefined by the administrator for the entire system and made available to all users, or they can be defined by each individual user as “private loadable resources”. For further information on creating and using loadable resources, see Chapter 4 in the “Reference Manual”.

3.4.4.1Using Public Loadable Resources

The administrator may have configured loadable resources in the system. To print a document that uses resources, use the following option:

-lrloadable resources

With this option, you can reference a list of loadable resources.

Examples

–To display the loadable resources available in the system, use the command xpshow -lrs

The system displays a list of all loadable resources that can be used. For example, you could use any of the loadable resources listed below.

Name

Type Administrator PCL

----------------- ---------

Overlay	root	PJL-PCL5e
Softfont	root	PJL-PCL5e

Please note that only those loadable resources are displayed which have been defined by the Xprint V7.0 administrator. Your own job loadable resources in the $HOME/.Xprint file are not displayed but can also be used.

–To print a document with a logo on every page: xpadd -dr mydocument -lr logo -cr ALL

Xprint V7.0 is only able to insert calls to resources at the top of a page in a document. Other cases must be dealt with by the user. The user must call the resource with the appropriate escape sequence (see the printer manual) and with the identifier known by the printer. This identifier is shown in the

Internal Id field in the xpshow -lrs -di LONG display.
