Software features for IPDS

This section describes some of the software features for IPDS printing.

IOCA Replicate and Trim

The printer supports Replicate and Trim, which improves the processing of IM and IO images that contain large areas of shaded graphics. (IM images are resolution-dependent images that cannot be compressed or scaled; IO images are resolution- independent.)

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.
