Introduction Features DocuSP support for the IPDS data stream DocuSP IPDS supports all AFP (Advanced Function Presentation) resources such as print data sets, page definitions, form definitions, page segments, fonts, and overlays supported by the emulated printer. Additionally, there are several IBM data architectures within the AFP environment that are fully supported by DocuSP IPDS: • MO: DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for presentation • PTOCA PT1 and PT2: Presentation Text Object Content Architecture • IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture • GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture • BCOCA: Bar Code Object Content Architecture Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing delimited fields within the structure fields describing each object. IPDS commands within the data stream enable the system to control the media-handling capabilities of the printer and other operations dealing with paper. The commands also provide the means for managing the downloading of fonts and stored objects, such as overlays and page segments that are required to print an application. The following data types are supported: • Text data • Font data • IM image data • IOCA image data • Graphics data • Bar code data DocuSP IPDS printing systems support the following DocuSP IPDS related features and capabilities: • DocuSP IPDS constructs and PDL commands. DocuSP IPDS provides the ability to: • Print the standard IBM IPDS data stream. • Properly image all IPDS-required print resources and fonts. • Recognize and process all required DocuSP IPDS commands from the IBM channel and AFP software.
