Xprint V7.0 architecture

Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0

Fonts (-fnt)

Usually, various fonts are available for printing your documents under Xprint V7.0. These are composed of the following attributes:

typeface (e.g. Courier, Helvetica, Times Roman etc.)

style (straight or italic)

horizontal character pitch (number of characters per inch/centimeter)

line spacing (number of lines per inch/centimeter)

print quality (draft or correspondence quality)

character set (German, English, International, USA etc.)

So that you do not have to specify the desired attributes for each individual print job, Xprint V7.0 allows you to predefine various fonts. You select the desired attributes and store them under a font name. If you want to print a document using these specific font attributes, you only need to request them via this font name and Xprint V7.0 will apply them automatically to the print job.

Xprint V7.0 provides a default font (GENERIC) that has the following attributes: no specific character type, straight, a character pitch of 10 characters per inch, line spacing of 6 lines per inch and the character set INTERNATIONAL. This font must not be modified nor deleted, not even by the Xprint V7.0 administrator.

Forms (-frm)

Forms are a convenient way of influencing the appearance of print jobs. Forms can be used to define paper and page formats, the layup (portrait or landscape), font, appearance of the information pages and user privileges. Xprint V7.0 differentiates between automatic and manual forms. Jobs using automatic forms can be printed at any time; these forms are mounted on the printer by default and usually only define the hopper, page format (margins) or the font. If a specific form requires that special paper be mounted in the printer manually or that a font cassette be changed, a manual form makes sure that the job is only printed when the printer has been prepared.

You can define, modify or delete forms. Furthermore, you can use permission lists to restrict the use of a specific form to specific users.
