SYSTEM OVERVIEW
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-15
Outline font support
The IPS supports the use of IBM outline fonts for both single- and
double-byte applications. These fonts may be downloaded during the
jobs or may be loaded into the system and made resident through the
use of a user interface option on the Configuration menu.
These outline fonts allow users to specify a single font that can be
rasterized in a variety of point sizes by the IPS. The IBM outline fonts
are based on Adobe type 1 and type 0 fonts that are in PostScript
format.
Note: The IPS supports printer resident outline fonts. It does not
support printer resident raster fonts.
Printer resident font support
The IPS stores both single-byte and double-byte fonts locally on the
Printer Controller and does not require you to download the fonts
from the host. This can lead to significant performance gains,
especially when the printer is attached remotely.
Users can also set the default font for text or barcode Human
Readable Interpretation (HRI) to one of the installed fonts to replace
a font that is distributed with the system.
Fonts can be installed from an IBM supplied font CD or via FTP to the
Controller workstation.
Note: The IPS supports printer resident outline fonts. It does not
support printer resident raster fonts.
Processing options
The IPS allows users to specify processing options using the GUI.
For example, changing the model number reported to the host. Refer
to the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System for details on these options.
Message translation
The IPS provides some message translatability for the GUI and
printer monitor. Users can select the language of their choice from a
GUI menu option.
Configuration file processing
The IPS adds a version identifier to the configuration files. The
identifier allows for migration of configuration data from one release
to a subsequent release at upgrade time. The IPS allows users to
save, upgrade, and restore configuration data such as input and
output tray mappings and DFA configurations.
