Introducing

InfoPrint

XT

This

chapter

briefly

describes

the

components

of

InfoPrint

XT

for

Windows

(InfoPrint

XT),

how

it

processes

jobs,

and

its

non-supported

or

restricted

functions.

InfoPrint

XT

is

the

Xerox

transform

technology

that

you

can

use

to

print

Xerox

jobs

on

high-speed,

Intelligent

Printer

Data

Stream

(IPDS)

printers.

Note:

This

publication

identifies

the

system

on

which

you

install

InfoPrint

XT

as

the

Windows

system.

InfoPrint

XT

overview

InfoPrint

XT

transforms

Xerox

Line

Conditioned

Data

Stream

(LCDS)

jobs

and

metacode

jobs

to

jobs

that

you

can

print

on

IPDS

printers.

InfoPrint

XT

converts

the

jobs

and

the

resources

that

they

require,

such

as

fonts

and

forms,

to

the

Advanced

Function

Presentation

(AFP)

format.

AFP

is

part

of

the

InfoPrint

Solutions

Company

presentation

architectures

for

creating,

storing,

retrieving,

viewing,

and

printing

data.

Benefitting

from

AFP

and

InfoPrint

XT

The

presentation

architectures

represent

documents

in

a

data

format

that

is

independent

of

the

methods

used

to

capture

or

create

them.

Documents

might

contain

combinations

of

text,

images,

graphics,

and

bar

code

objects

in

device-independent

formats.

You

can

send

the

same

document

to

a

variety

of

destinations,

including

printers,

without

altering

its

format

for

the

type

of

destination.

Many

methods

exist

by

which

you

can

generate

Xerox

LCDS

and

metacode

data

streams

and

send

them

to

Xerox

printers.

Now,

you

can

send

Xerox

jobs

directly

to

InfoPrint

XT

without

altering

the

applications

that

generate

the

jobs.

InfoPrint

XT

converts

the

jobs,

which

you

can

then

print

on

a

wide

variety

of

IPDS

printers.

For

example,

you

can

print

the

jobs

on

InfoPrint

4100

printers,

which

are

nonimpact,

all-points-addressable,

laser

electrophotographic

printers.

These

continuous-forms

printers

are

ideal

for

the

high

volume,

production

printing

environment.

If

your

printing

needs

require

cut-sheet

printers,

with

several

bins

for

a

variety

of

paper

stocks,

you

can

print

the

jobs

on

an

InfoPrint

2190

or

InfoPrint

2210

printer.

The

InfoPrint

2190

prints

at

110

pages-per-minute,

and

the

InfoPrint

2210

prints

at

90

pages-per-minute.

Both

are

modular,

multifunction

cut-sheet

printers

for

use

in

the

production

printing

environment.

in-depth

information

about

the

presentation

architectures,

Xerox

resources

and

the

InfoPrint

XT

load

process

Xerox

jobs

use

a

combination

of

printable

and

non-printable

resources.

In

the

Xerox

environment,

these

resources

are

on

the

Xerox

printer

hardware.

Before

you

convert

a

Xerox

job

to

AFP,

you

must

first

convert

its

printable

resources

to

AFP.

You

convert

the

Xerox

resources

to

their

AFP

counterparts

through
