Page 14 highlights

shared commands include lp, enq, qprt, and lpr. If you remove either InfoPrint Manager or InfoPrint ProcessDirector, the shared PSF and AIX print system components remain installed. Note: InfoPrint Manager for AIX and InfoPrint Manager ProcessDirector must be at these minimum levels to support PSF and AIX print system component sharing: v InfoPrint Manager for AIX Version 4 Release 3 Modification 0, Program Number 5648-F35 v InfoPrint ProcessDirector for AIX, Version 1 Release 3 Modification 1, Program Number 5765-G74 with PTF US00105 Support for IBM Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 InfoPrint Manager now supports IBM® Java™ Runtime Environment Version 5.0. This is the only Java version supported by both the InfoPrint Manager clients and servers. However, InfoPrint Job Ticketer also supports Sun Java 5.0. All InfoPrint Manager components must use the same Java level. Support for Managed IPDS Dialog (MID) InfoPrint Manager now supports Managed IPDS™ Dialog (MID). This support allows additional sharing capability for specific print engines. Under this enhancement, the printer can request that the PSF host release its control of the print engine (but not drop the TCP/IP connection), thus allowing the print engine to print data streams other than IPDS during periods of time where the IPDS activity is minimal. This is to optimize the performance of the printer. Support for color management resources added to selected transforms Release 3 adds support for color management resources (CMRs) to the gif2afp, jpeg2afp, pdf2afp, ps2afp, and tiff2afp transforms. This support provides color fidelity with better printer performance. Support for Unicode Extended Code Pages Unicode Extended Code Pages (ECP) are code pages with additional information used by OpenType and TrueType fonts. This enables users to easily define new composite double-byte characters. Support for page count for AFP The page count for AFP™ function in InfoPrint Manager enables users to see the number of pages in an AFP file to be printed by PSF on a printer before sending it to the printer. Users can turn on and off this page count function. However, the result of the page count function might not be 100% accurate, because only the begin page group (BPG) and end page group (EPG) pages are counted. Support for separator pages for AFP Download Plus Release 3 adds support for AFP Download Plus (AFPDP) to have the option of sending the separator pages (header page, data set header page, and trailer page) in MOD:CA format to the receiver. When AFPDP is enabled to send the separator pages, the separator pages generated by InfoPrint Manager will be suppressed for these jobs. Support for BCOCA desired symbol width With release 3, end users can specify a symbol width rather than specify the size for each bar and space within the bar code symbol. This enables users to have direct control over the total width of a bar code symbol. Also, the total width of the bar code symbols created by the printers does not vary as much based on the printhead resolution. xii InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Introduction and Planning Guide

. If you remove either InfoPrint
Manager or InfoPrint ProcessDirector, the shared PSF and AIX print system
components remain installed.
Note:
InfoPrint Manager for AIX and InfoPrint Manager ProcessDirector must be
at these minimum levels to support PSF and AIX print system component sharing:
v
InfoPrint Manager for AIX Version 4 Release 3 Modification 0, Program Number
5648-F35

Support for IBM Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0
InfoPrint Manager now supports IBM
®
Java
Runtime Environment Version 5.0.
This is the only Java version supported by both the InfoPrint Manager clients and
servers. However, InfoPrint Job Ticketer also supports Sun Java 5.0. All InfoPrint
Manager components must use the same Java level.
Support for Managed IPDS Dialog (MID)
InfoPrint Manager now supports Managed IPDS
Dialog (MID). This support
allows additional sharing capability for specific print engines. Under this
enhancement, the printer can request that the PSF host release its control of the
print engine (but not drop the TCP/IP connection), thus allowing the print engine
to print data streams other than IPDS during periods of time where the IPDS
activity is minimal. This is to optimize the performance of the printer.
Support for color management resources added to selected
transforms
Release 3 adds support for color management resources (CMRs) to the gif2afp,
jpeg2afp, pdf2afp, ps2afp, and tiff2afp transforms. This support provides color
fidelity with better printer performance.

Unicode Extended Code Pages (ECP) are code pages with additional information
used by OpenType and TrueType fonts. This enables users to easily define new
composite double-byte characters.
Support for page count for AFP
The page count for AFP
function in InfoPrint Manager enables users to see the

in MOD:CA format to the receiver. When AFPDP is enabled to send the separator
pages, the separator pages generated by InfoPrint Manager will be suppressed for

Support for BCOCA desired symbol width
With release 3, end users can specify a symbol width rather than specify the size
for each bar and space within the bar code symbol. This enables users to have
direct control over the total width of a bar code symbol. Also, the total width of
the bar code symbols created by the printers does not vary as much based on the
printhead resolution.
