Filter options for the aoprform.dll filter

You can specify these filter options for the aoprform.dll filter:

%filter-options

Causes any options that a job submitter specified in the filter-options job attribute to be passed directly to the transform.

You can type %filter-options in any position relative to other filter options. If you specify any options to the right of %filter-options, those options override the same options that were specified in the filter-options job attribute, with the exception of any options that are cumulative.

-a imagetype

The type of AFP data stream image that the transform generates for each page in the PCL, PostScript, or PDF file. Valid values are:

fs45

IOCA color FS45 images. Specify this value for color printers such as the InfoPrint Color 1454 or 1464 printer. Specify this value only for the PostScript and PDF data formats.

im1

IM1 image. This type of image is not compressed.

io1

IOCA image. This type of image is not compressed.

io1-g4

Compressed Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) image in Modified Telecommunication Standardization Sector (TSS) T.6 G4 Facsimile Coding Scheme (G4 MMR) format. This is the suggested output type because it takes up less space on the hard disk, and it prints faster.

Tips:

1. Some older AFP printers do not support printing with an image type of io1-g4. For these printers, specify an image type of io1-mmr because it is the compressed image type supported by these printers. This image type results in faster printing than uncompressed image types.
2. TSS was formerly the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT).

io1-mmr

Compressed IOCA image in Modified Modified Read (MMR) format.

-l length

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

-P

The TCP/IP port number on the AIX® or Windows system at which the transform daemon is receiving data. Consult the AIX or Windows administrator for the correct value to specify. If you omit this option, the default port for the type of input data is used. Valid values are:

Value

Meaning

8251

The default port number for the PostScript and PDF data formats.

8253

The default port number for the PCL data format.

924 - nnnnn

Any valid port number greater than or equal to 924 at which the transform daemon is receiving data.

-p pagerange

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

-q transformattributes

When you select the FS45 image output (–a fs45), you can specify these transform attributes and values. For a detailed description of these attributes and values, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

color-profile={euroscale | none | swop}

Specifies the color profile that the transform is to use. The default value is none. You can also specify these synonyms:

Value:

Synonym:

euroscale

Euroscale

swop

SWOP

color-rendering-intent={relative | perceptual}

Specifies how the transform is to process shades that the color printer cannot reproduce exactly. The default value is relative.

color-toner-saver={ no | yes}

Specifies whether the transform is to reduce the amount of color toner used by the printer. The default value is no. You can also specify these synonyms:

Value:

Synonym:

no

false

yes

true

presentation-object-container-extraction-mode={ignore | inline}

Specifies how the transform generates presentation object container resources in the output stream. The default value is ignore.

Rules:

• Specify attributes in this format: attribute=value.
• If you specify more than one attribute, separate the attributes with a space.
• Do not abbreviate the attribute names and values.
• Use the exact uppercase and lowercase letters for the attribute and values.
• If the -q value contains spaces, enclose the entire value in single or double quotation marks.
• You can specify the -q option multiple times. If you specify the same attribute multiple times, the last value specified for the attribute is used.

-r resolution

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

-t outputtype

Determines the type of output to generate.

Valid values are:

document

Printable document. This is the default value.

overlay

Graphic image that can be printed on each page of a printable document.

pagesegment

Graphic image that can be embedded in a printable document.

Tip:

When you generate overlays or page segments from multiple-page documents, the user might want to use the -g or -p option to select pages. Otherwise, one overlay or page segment is created for each page of the input file.

-w width

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

-x xoffset

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

-y yoffset

This option is passed directly to the Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transform daemon. For the values you can specify, see the ps2afp or pcl2afp command description in InfoPrint Manager: Reference.

ipaddress

The host name or dotted-decimal address of the AIX or Windows system on which the transform daemon is running. This is a required option. For example, 9.99.9.23 or AIX4.

Tip:Ricoh InfoPrint Manager transforms, by default, create 32K records. To limit the maximum AFP record length to 8K bytes, the InfoPrint Manager administrator must add this statement to the InfoPrint Manager configuration file for the transform (for example, configuration file ps2afpd.cfg):

pragma=AFPDSRECORDLENGTH=8000
