Color and Simulated Grey Scale Printing, 10.6 TrueType Fonts, 10.7 Object Container Support

Page 82 highlights

10.5 Color and Simulated Grey Scale Printing Color or simulated grey scale printing is supported in all IPDS towers. Function Sets (FS) 10, 11, 42, and 45 are supported. Full process color is supported when using FS45. ABIC (Bi-level Q-Coder) compression is not supported. Additional information may be found in the "Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) Reference" (publication SC31-6805-05). Full process color using FS45 is supported on iSeries V5R2 and higher. 10.6 TrueType Fonts TrueType fonts may be downloaded from the host. True Type Font support is only available on selected products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-of-purchase for information. TrueType fonts can be linked to a TrueType base font to form an ordered list of fonts that are essentially processed as a single font. IPDS supports printing of linked fonts. The font linking function fulfills two primary requirements: • Supports the ability to add user-defined characters to a given font. This requirement is particularly strong in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese markets. • Supports the ability to extend a font with additional characters. These are not user-defined characters, but characters that did not fit into a single font due to the 64K restriction for TrueType fonts. The most important example for this requirement is the extension of the base Chinese character set for GB18030 support. For more information about installing and managing TrueType Fonts, consult Chapter 4 in "Using OpenType Fonts in an AFP System" (G544-5876). For detailed information, please consult the product documentation for the Font Installer for AFP Systems. 10.7 Object Container Support Object container support is only available on selected products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-ofpurchase for information. Support for object containers makes it possible to send various types of resource and presentation objects to the printer. Support is currently provided for: • TrueType fonts (see page 82) • JFIF (jpeg) - presentation object • IOCA tiles (used in IO images) 10.8 IO Images as Resources Support for IO images as resources is only available on selected products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-of-purchase for information. Support is given for the use of IO images as resources that can be included in a page at a later time without having to include the IO image in an overlay. 82

10.6 TrueType Fonts
TrueType fonts may be downloaded from the host. True Type Font support is only available on selected
products that support IPDS code release 3.01-01210 and higher. For some products this code may only be
available as a field upgrade. Contact your point-of-purchase for information.
