two pixels with another pixel having an average value of the two to minimize the difference or to add detail to smooth the result. document In InfoPrint, an object representing a grouping of data in a job. A job can contain one or more documents. The documents in a job can differ from each other in some ways. For example, they can contain different data and can have different document formats. A document in a job can contain printable data or a resource that is not printable by itself. See file-reference document, printable document, and resource document. document element A portion of a document at least a single page in size. document format In InfoPrint, a document format describes the type of the data and control characters in the document, such as line data or PostScript. The format of the data determines which printer devices are capable of printing the document and whether InfoPrint must transform the format. document identifier A string that identifies a document in a job. It consists of a job ID followed by a period (.) and a document sequence number. For example, 12.2. Document sequence numbers are integers starting at 1. Document Printing Application (DPA) An ISO/IEC 10175 standard that addresses those aspects of document processing that enable users in a distributed open systems environment to send electronic documents to shared, possibly geographically-dispersed printers. InfoPrint supports the DPA standard. document transfer method In InfoPrint, the transfer method describes how documents are transferred to, or acquired by, servers. See pipe-pull and with-request. document type In InfoPrint, the document type describes the kind of data in the document. A printable document can only contain printable data. A resource document can only contain data such as fonts or form definitions that are not printable. A file reference document can only contain names of files entered on separate lines. dot The individual elements of a halftone. dot gain An increase in the size of a halftone dot during printing, caused by ink spreading. Generally, this value is known precisely, and the scanning and filming production process is calibrated to compensate for it. The Cromalin proofing system simulates this effect. dots per inch (dpi) A measure of data density per unit distance. Typical values for desktop publishing range from 200 to 300 dpi.
