Each authoring program creates VDP code that instructs the RIP where to place the VDP elements, and each authoring program does so in a slightly different manner. The format you choose can be a stand-alone format that covers all aspects of document design, data management, and text capture, or it can be an extension of an existing program that enables you to create VDP documents and VDP jobs. Variable Print Specification The Variable Print Specification (VPS) file format is an extension of the PostScript language. The file format is comprehensive and can cover a complete range of VDP documents. A Variable Print Specification job consists of the following components: ● Booklet-A personalized copy of a document within a single print run. Pages or elements within a page can vary from booklet to booklet. ● Reusable elements-Self-contained graphical entities that can be line art, text, raster images, or a combination of these types. Reusable elements are represented in PostScript and can be stored as EPS files when appropriate. Reusable elements include clipping and scaling instructions as well as the image data. ● Inline elements-Unique information that is drawn from a database and is embedded in the sub-job. This data prints only once for individual booklets. PPML Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML) is an XML-based print language developed by some of the world's leading manufacturers of print technology for the high-speed reproduction of reusable page content. It is an open, interoperable, deviceindependent standard that makes use of personalized print applications. Various vendors have created software that can generate PPML files. The IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 supports PPML formats and enables you to process PPML jobs efficiently and import jobs in various VDP formats to the IC‑314 print controller version 1.0. PPML has a hierarchical structure. Document components are separated from their submission file and can be organized and stored at different levels of the hierarchical structure.
