Chapter 28. Generating and submitting color mapping table source and output files A color mapping table is a printer resource object that defines a translation from certain MO:DCA structured fields to new color structured fields used by newer printers. Color mapping tables are used to provide highlight color attachments to black-and-white printers, such as using the InfoPrint 4005 attachment with the InfoPrint 4000 printer. You can also use a color mapping table to map highlight colors into richer colors on a color printer like the InfoPrint Color 130 Plus printer or the InfoPrint 4100 when printing with highlight colors. To apply color to black and white documents, you must use the following procedure to create Color Mapping Table Source (.src) and Output Files. See "InfoPrint administrative utilities" in " InfoPrint Manager Tools" chapter of the InfoPrint Manager: Reference for information about the cmt utility. You can define translations from non-color fields to color, old color fields to new color fields, and from new color fields to different new color fields. Therefore, you can use existing applications and documents with new color fields without having to change the documents or applications. Also, you can use various color mappings with a single document to print the document using color in different ways without changing the original document. The sample configuration file named cmt.cfg file should be available in the install_path\config directory and the cmt utility should be available in the install_path\bin directory on your Infoprint Server. Using the AFP architectural reference, you can apply color to existing black and white documents. Note: A MOD:CA sample color mapping table produces from the sample cmt.cfg file is provided in install_path\config\cmtsampl. The cmt utility lets you create color mappings in a variety of different color modes that are defined through the ColorSpace parameter. For example, the Highlight value can be used when printing to an InfoPrint 4000 printer with an Highlight Color Model HC2 Post-Processor (HCPP). For more information about HCPP, see the InfoPrint Hi-Lite Color Printer: Library Catalog at the URL http://www.infoprint.com. Parts of a color mapping table A color mapping table consists of a base part, a set of source groups, and a set of target groups. The base part identifies the color mapping table with a type of either reset or normal. The simplest possible color mapping table is a reset color mapping table that tells the printer to do no transformations on the color information found in the document. A reset color mapping table has no source or target groups; all other color mapping tables have at least one source and one target group. Using source groups Each source group has an identification (ID) number that is used to match the source group with a corresponding target group. You can have unique ID numbers; however, if you create the color mapping table without the cmt utility and want to 275

Chapter 28. Generating and submitting color mapping table
source and output files
A color mapping table is a printer resource object that defines a translation from
certain MO:DCA structured fields to new color structured fields used by newer
printers. Color mapping tables are used to provide highlight color attachments to
black-and-white printers, such as using the InfoPrint 4005 attachment with the
InfoPrint 4000 printer. You can also use a color mapping table to map highlight
colors into richer colors on a color printer like the InfoPrint Color 130 Plus printer
or the InfoPrint 4100 when printing with highlight colors. To apply color to black
and white documents, you must use the following procedure to create Color
Mapping Table Source (
.src
) and Output Files. See "InfoPrint administrative
utilities" in " InfoPrint Manager Tools" chapter of the
InfoPrint Manager: Reference
for information about the
cmt
utility. You can define translations from non-color
fields to color, old color fields to new color fields, and from new color fields to
different new color fields. Therefore, you can use existing applications and
documents with new color fields without having to change the documents or
applications. Also, you can use various color mappings with a single document to
print the document using color in different ways without changing the original
document.
The sample configuration file named
cmt.cfg
file should be available in the
install_path
\config
directory and the
cmt
utility should be available in the
install_path
\bin
directory on your Infoprint Server. Using the AFP architectural
reference, you can apply color to existing black and white documents.
Note:
A MOD:CA sample color mapping table produces from the sample
cmt.cfg
file is provided in
install_path
\config\cmtsampl
.
The
cmt
utility lets you create color mappings in a variety of different color modes
that are defined through the
ColorSpace
parameter. For example, the
Highlight
value can be used when printing to an InfoPrint 4000 printer with an Highlight
Color Model HC2 Post-Processor (HCPP). For more information about HCPP, see
the InfoPrint Hi-Lite Color Printer: Library Catalog at the URL
