Conventions used in this publication
This publication uses conventions for:
vHighlighting
vCommand syntax and example syntax, including special characters in
commands
Highlighting
These are the types of highlighting:
Bold Identifies commands, attributes, files, directories, and other items whose
names the InfoPrint XT installation predefines. For example, the pdxtx2afp
command and the %PDXTINSTDIR% directory.
Italic Identifies avariable item whose actual name or value you supply. For
example, local or ldest.Italics also identify publication titles.
Bold Italic
Syntax that combines bold and italic highlighting identifies aspecific
keyword or parameter name that you enter exactly as shown, and a
variable value that you supply. For example, xjdl=jdl_name.Enter the string
xjdl=.jdl_name is avalue that you choose.
xii InfoPrint XT Guide

Understanding the syntax notation and the use of special
characters
These rules apply to the syntax diagrams and examples that this publication
contains:
vText that you type is case-sensitive. For example, p0612c.fnt and F$P0612C;type
the font names in lowercase and uppercase characters exactly as they are shown.
vDo not type any vertical bars, underscores, or brackets that command examples
include:
–Avertical bar or bars between two or more entries means that you can
specify only one of the values. [xspacing=none |word |char] is an example
of this notation. You can specify one of these values:
-xspacing=none
-xspacing=word
-xspacing=char
–An underscore identifies the default value for an option or parameter.
InfoPrint XT uses the default value if you do not explicitly specify avalue.
none was the default value in the previous example.
–Brackets around an item in an example mean that the item is optional. You do
not have to include it.
Note: This does not apply to the brackets that you can include in
pattern-matching strings.
Entering commands that this publication describes
Procedures in this publication direct you to enter InfoPrint XT commands, such as
pdxtloadres and pdxtx2afp.For installations that use InfoPrint Manager with
InfoPrint XT, certain procedures also instruct you to enter InfoPrint Manager

xiv InfoPrint XT Guide

Summary of changes
These are brief descriptions of the functional updates to InfoPrint XT for Windows
(InfoPrint XT) and the corresponding documentation changes that this publication
contains:
Support for content-sensitive medium maps
The InfoPrint XT data stream converter uses asequentially numbered
naming convention for medium map names in the inline form definition
that it generates as it converts aXerox job. The numbering sequence begins
with AIO00001. You can now instruct InfoPrint XT to create medium map
names that reflect certain characteristics of the medium map, such as
whether it specifies simplex or duplex printing. InfoPrint XT provides the
new xcsmmname conversion parameter that you can use to control the
format of the medium map name. See these topics:
v“Working with content-sensitive medium map names” on page 34
vThe xcsmmname conversion parameter on page 96
Emulation of the Xerox ALIGN operator command
InfoPrint XT can emulate the Xerox ALIGN operator command, which lets
users adjust the position of page images in the AFP output that InfoPrint
XT creates. InfoPrint XT uses two new conversion parameters for the
alignment emulation. The xalign parameter controls how InfoPrint XT
aligns the AFP output with the pages of the job. The xinvertalign
parameter controls how InfoPrint XT aligns the AFP output for pages that
Xerox OUTPUT INVERT commands or INVERT Dynamic Job Descriptor
Entries (DJDEs) invert. See these topics:
vThe xalign conversion parameter on page 93
vThe xinvertalign conversion parameter on page 97
Duplicate inline image checking for online jobs
Xerox online jobs can use GRAPHIC DJDEs instead of IMAGE DJDEs to
specify inline images. This can impact performance and increase the
processing time that InfoPrint XT requires for the job. If the job contains
many inline images, but there are few unique images and most are
duplicates of images that were specified earlier in the job, the performance
impact is greater. When possible, the best solution is to change the
application that generated the job. To improve performance, the application
should use IMAGE DJDEs to specify the inline images instead of
GRAPHIC DJDEs. If changing the application is not possible, you can use
the new xckdupnlimg conversion parameter. When you specify
xckdupnlimg=yes,InfoPrint XT does apreliminary check of each inline
image that aGRAPHIC DJDE specifies. If it determines that the image is a
duplicate, InfoPrint XT does not process the image again. It uses the AFP
output from the first conversion of the duplicated image that it generated
earlier in the job. See page 95.
Note: The xckdupnlimg conversion parameter does not apply to offline
jobs.
Controlling automatic carriage control verification
You use the existing xcc conversion parameter to specify the type of
carriage controls, ANSI or machine code, that the data for an online job
contains. In addition, InfoPrint XT automatically reads the first records of
©Copyright InfoPrint Solutions Company 2004, 2007 xv

the job to further verify the type of carriage controls. If it detects a
different type of carriage control, InfoPrint XT overrides the type that the
xcc parameter specifies. With Download for z/OS, InfoPrint XT can use a
download directive to convert ANSI carriage controls to machine code
before it converts the job. When the job contains both ANSI and machine
code carriage controls and you do not use Download for z/OS to transfer
online jobs, the AFP output that InfoPrint XT generates can be wrong if the
InfoPrint XT automatic carriage-control type verification returns an
incorrect result. InfoPrint XT now provides the xpcctest conversion
parameter that lets you prevent InfoPrint XT from reading the first records
of the job. InfoPrint XT then uses the value of the xcc parameter to
determine the type of carriage controls that the data for the job contains.
See these new and revised topics:
v-p download directive on page 76
vxcc conversion parameter on page 94
vxpcctest conversion parameter on page 99
Enhancements for spacing characters in Xerox fonts
With the default xspacing=none conversion parameter and value, InfoPrint
XT converts spacing characters in Xerox fonts to Presentation Text Object
Content Architecture (PTOCA) text characters in the AFP that it creates. It
does the same for overlays that it creates from Xerox FRMs. You can now
instruct InfoPrint XT to create Relative Move Inline (RMI) structured fields
in the AFP output instead of the PTOCA text characters.
This function is useful if you need to manually correlate Xerox fonts to
AFP fonts rather than use the AFP fonts that InfoPrint XT creates. For
example, you might need to correlate aXerox Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition (MICR) font to an AFP MICR font that is specifically tuned for
aparticular Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) printer. In this case, a
code page conflict might arise if the spacing characters in the Xerox font
do not match any of the available characters in the manually correlated
AFP font.
You can avoid this type of conflict by instructing InfoPrint XT to generate
RMI structured fields in the AFP output or in any overlays that it
generates for Xerox fonts that you load with the new -b option of the
pdxtloadres command. If you manually correlate an AFP font to aXerox
font that you load with the -b option, InfoPrint XT does not look for
corresponding spacing characters in the AFP font.
You can also use anew conversion parameter, xspcrmi,to control how
InfoPrint XT interprets spacing characters in the Xerox fonts that FILE
DJDEs specify. InfoPrint XT does not look for corresponding spacing
characters in amanually correlated AFP font for any Xerox font that it
loads when the xspcrmi=yes conversion parameter is in effect for the job.
For this enhancement to take effect, you must do these tasks after you
install the product update:
vUse the pdxtloadres command and its -b option to reload any Xerox
fonts for which you want to use this function.
vUse the pdxtloadres command to reload all forms that use the affected
fonts.
vAdd the xspcrmi=yes conversion parameter to jobs that use FILE DJDEs
to specify fonts for which you want to use this function.
See these topics:
xvi InfoPrint XT Guide

vThe -b option for the pdxtloadres command on page 42
vThe xspcrmi conversion parameter on page 101
Enhancements to Xerox shading support
The InfoPrint XT default is to convert Xerox shading patterns to raster dot
patterns in the AFP output. InfoPrint XT also converts shading characters
in Xerox FRMs to raster dot patterns in the corresponding AFP overlays.
InfoPrint XT now can convert shading patterns and shading characters to
grayscale. This improves the overall visual results and increases the
readability for any text that is superimposed on the shading. The
enhancement consists of these changes:
vThe pdxtloadres command has anew -c option that lets you specify
how InfoPrint XT converts shading characters when it processes
FORMS$, FORMSX, and ISISPX fonts in FRMs.
vThe new xshading conversion parameter controls how InfoPrint XT
converts shading patterns in Xerox data streams. This parameter also
controls how InfoPrint XT converts inline FRMs that FILE DJDE
commands specify.
For this enhancement to take effect, you must do these tasks after you
install the product update:
vReload any FRMs that contain shading that the SHADING parameter of
the BOX FSL command controls. Use the pdxtloadres command with the
-c option to reload the resources.
vSpecify the xshading conversion parameter for jobs that contain
standard Xerox shading from FORMS$, FORMS, and ISISPX fonts. Also
specify this conversion parameter for jobs that use FILE DJDEs with
inline FRMs.
See these topics:
vThe -c option of the pdxtloadres command on page 43.
vThe xshading conversion parameter on page 100.
vRestrictions apply when you use InfoPrint XT shading support. See page
4.
OUTPUT INVERT command and INVERT DJDE support
InfoPrint XT provides anew conversion parameter, xhonorinvert,that lets
InfoPrint XT process jobs that contain OUTPUT INVERT commands and
INVERT DJDEs. For this enhancement to take effect, you must do these
tasks after you install the product update:
vReload any Job Description Libraries (JDLs) that contain OUTPUT
INVERT commands.
vSpecify xhonorinvert=yes for jobs that invoke JDLs or Job Descriptor
Entries (JDEs) that specify OUTPUT INVERT or that contain INVERT
DJDEs.
For information about the xhonorinvert conversion parameter, see page 96.
OUTPUT XSHIFT command and XSHIFT DJDE support
InfoPrint XT can now process OUTPUT XSHIFT commands and XSHIFT
DJDEs with the existing xhonorshift conversion parameter. For this
enhancement to take effect, you must do these tasks after you install the
product update:
vReload any JDLs that contain OUTPUT XSHIFT commands.
vSpecify xhonorshift=yes for jobs that invoke JDLs or JDEs that specify
OUTPUT XSHIFT or that contain XSHIFT DJDEs.
Summary of changes xvii

For information about the xhonorshift conversion parameter, see page 96.
Generation of NOP structured fields for CDJDE text
Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MO:DCA) No Operation
(NOP) structured fields can store information in the AFP data stream. In
addition to NOPs for OTEXT, AFP fonts and page segments, and highlight
color, you can now instruct InfoPrint XT to generate NOPs for comments
that CDJDEs contain. This is useful if you do indexing tasks on the AFP
that InfoPrint XT generates from Xerox jobs that use CDJDEs. For more
information, see these topics:
vThe xcmt2nop conversion parameter on page 95
vThe XRXCDJDE NOP keyword on page 33
MICR font support
Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) fonts are used with financial
applications, such as those that generate bank and payroll checks.
Externally, standard Xerox MICR fonts are typically identified by their
names. Xerox fonts whose names begin with E13B,E14B,or CMC7 prefix
can be MICR fonts. When it loads aXerox MICR font, InfoPrint XT uses
internal bit settings in the AFP font that it generates to differentiate AFP
MICR fonts from non-MICR AFP fonts. InfoPrint XT lets you request AFP
MICR fonts when you load Xerox MICR fonts through the new -M option
of the pdxtloadres command. You can also use the new xmicrfont
conversion parameter to instruct InfoPrint XT to generate AFP MICR fonts
from Xerox MICR fonts that FILE DJDEs in ajob specify. For more
information, see these topics:
v“Using the pdxtloadres command to load Xerox resources” on page 42
vxmicrfont conversion parameter on page 98
This publication also includes editorial, stylistic, and typographical updates. These
updates are not marked with revision bars.
