Processing Resources Installed With Resource Access Tables; Creating A New Resource-Context Object - Ricoh InfoPrint Pro C900AFP Manual

Processing resources installed with Resource Access Tables

A RAT maps a resource name specified in the MO:DCA-P data stream to
information used to find and process the resource. The resources that are installed
with a RAT include:
v TrueType and OpenType fonts
v Color management resources (CMRs)
v Data object resources
In order for line2afp to process resources installed with a RAT, you must:
1. Use the InfoPrint AFP Resource Installer or a similar product to install the
2. When invoking line2afp, use these parameters on AIX and Windows systems
3. Modify your application to include the RAT-installed resources in a page

Creating a new resource-context object

You create resource-context objects from the Command prompt window; you
cannot create them through the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI.
To create a new resource-context object from the command line, type a pdcreate
command using -c resource-context and typing:
1. The context-address
2. The server name
3. The resource-context object name
For example, to create a resource-context object named Resfont1 contained in
server Server1 that identifies x:\resource\fonts\group1 as the context-address or
directory containing AFP font resources, enter the command:
pdcreate -c resource-context -x "context-address=x:\resource\fonts\group1"
Notes:
1. Specify a name that uniquely describes the resource-context object in the server.
