IPDS printing environment

The IOCA Replicate and Trim capability allows for faster transmission to the printer of AFP applications with IM images that have large or widespread shaded areas. It also reduces the storage area required on the host and on the printer.

Trace facility

To help diagnose problems, the system provides a trace mechanism. Trace files store system configuration information, maintain TCP/IP protocol headers, and time-stamp all records.

For detailed information on this feature, refer to the “Using utility commands” chapter in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Overstrike, underscore, subscript, and superscript

Support for the PT2 Subset of PTOCA enables the printer to print overstrikes, underscores, subscripts, and superscripts where specified in jobs.

Color image support

Some IM1 images (for example, logos) can be converted to IOCA for resolution correction. The bi-level IOCA feature enables such IM1 images to be printed in color on the highlight-color printer. PSF does not strip the color information from the print job.

Also supported are JPEG compressed IOCA, as well as JPEG and EPS files in object containers.

NOTE: Hosts may not support JPEG files in object containers.

Background color for OCA colors

Users can specify COLOR on DRAWBOX (i.e., background color) as long as the color is restricted to colors defined with the OCA model.
