Xerox Paris, a document system Support & Software User Guide

Also, if the printer is being shared with other applications, (e.g. for word-
processing), PARIS must be instructed to reset the resources at the beginning of
each job. This naturally means the resources will be sent every time the job is
printed and has the effect of increasing the transmission time to the printer.

Refer to the section XPD Resource Management Commands for PCL and
PostScript printers on page 51.

PCL4 printers are not supported by PARIS.

PARIS provides you with the option to control the number of characters downloaded
in a character set. This may be necessary if you are using a printer that requires the
resources to be sent every time a job is printed. Refer to Appendix A,  ‘

the Character Selection Table’ of the PARIS Spooler32 Technical Manual.

.

As part of its job end processing, Postscript printers go through a clean-up. As a
result, when printing to PostScript printers (those with no permanent storage),
PARIS must send all resources required for a job at the beginning of each job. Refer
to the section XPD Resource Management Commands for PCL and PostScript
printers on page 51.

When printing using a manufacturer supplied GDI driver, PARIS passes total
responsibility for the downloading and management of resources to Windows.

Windows GDI does not understand bitmap fonts. If the application contains bitmap
fonts, Windows passes the information to the driver. It is up to the printer driver to
provide a solution to managing the fonts.

Note also that bitmap fonts will not appear in the Font List if a GDI printer driver is
selected. Refer to Chapter 20, ‘Using the Font List function’ of this manual and
‘Adding a font to the font list’ in Chapter 11 of the PARIS Designer User’s
Manual.
