TIFF files
This section discusses the TIFF tags supported by the Print Server software and the guidelines for printing TIFF files to achieve the optimum performance.
GetTIFF and GetForm
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators provided in the Print Server software allow the administrator to place a variety of external objects on the page that are not supported by the native PostScript language. These operators support TIFF files, PostScript segments, PostScript files, EPS files and baseline JPEG (JFIF) files.
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators take the name of the file that contains the external object and, using the default coordinate system, places the lower left corner of the object in the lower left corner of the page. Then the administrator can manipulate the object using standard PS procedures.
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators are encapsulated and do not affect the Graphics state parameters, like color or font. Additionally GetTIFF and GetForm execute the same sequence of calls that are involved in Xerox Forms Caching.
If the job size is greater than 200 pages and a VIPP license or demo license applies, then the job faults via standard VIPPS error pages.
NOTE: The Enable Caching/Disable Caching (of Fast Forms) selection found in the Postscript/PDF tab on the queue is not overridden by the use of GetTIFF or GetForm.
NOTE: The “Enable/Disable Accelerator” cache in Preferences activates cache for traditional PostScript jobs and does not apply to GetTIFF or GetForm.
TIFF orientation
The Print Server Save Feature stores TIFF images in different orientations on the DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 and the DocuTech 61XX. This is done by design to optimize productivity and allow for the different finishing requirements of the print engines controlled by the Print Server software. The following products have these options:
DocuTech 61xx
DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90
This difference can result in PostScript/VIPP files that call
