N-Up Printing; Color And Simulated Grey Scale Printing; Truetype/Opentype Fonts; Object Container Support - Lexmark T656 User Manual

10.4 N-up Printing

N-up print support allows multiple pages to be printed on a single sheet. N-up allows 1-4 partitions to be
defined per side of a sheet of paper. This allows up to 8 pages to be printed per sheet. Default page
placement (N-up) and explicit page placement (N-up EPP) are supported. Refer to the "Load Copy
Control and Logical Page Position" command in the Intelligent Printer Data Stream Reference (S544-
3417) for more information.

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/OpenType Fonts

TrueType and OpenType fonts may be downloaded from the host.
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.
