Printing
TIFF files
This section discusses the TIFF tags supported by the Print
Server software and the guidelines for printing TIFF files to
achieve the optimum performance.
GetTIFF and GetForm
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators provided in the Print Server
software allow the administrator to place a variety of external
objects on the page that are not supported by the native
PostScript language. These operators support TIFF files,
PostScript segments, PostScript files, EPS files and baseline
JPEG (JFIF) files.
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators take the name of the file that
contains the external object and, using the default coordinate
system, places the lower left corner of the object in the lower left
corner of the page. Then the administrator can manipulate the
object using standard PS procedures.
The GetTIFF and GetForm operators are encapsulated and do not
affect the Graphics state parameters, like color or font. Additionally
GetTIFF and GetForm execute the same sequence of calls that
are involved in Xerox Forms Caching.
If the job size is greater than 200 pages and a VIPP license or
demo license applies, then the job faults via standard VIPPS error
pages.
NOTE: The Enable Caching/Disable Caching (of Fast Forms)
selection found in the Postscript/PDF tab on the queue is not
overridden by the use of GetTIFF or GetForm.
NOTE: The “Enable/Disable Accelerator” cache in Preferences
activates cache for traditional PostScript jobs and does not apply
to GetTIFF or GetForm.
TIFF orientation
The Print Server Save Feature stores TIFF images in different
orientations on the DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 and the DocuTech
61XX. This is done by design to optimize productivity and allow for
the different finishing requirements of the print engines controlled
by the Print Server software. The following products have these
options:
DocuTech 61xx -- The DocuTech 61xx finishes the trail edge of the
pages and orients the image appropriately.
DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 -- The DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90
finishes the lead edge of the pages and orients the image
properly.
This difference can result in PostScript/VIPP files that call
Decomposition Service TIFFs being incompatible across the
