These subcommands are used to specify whether or not to preload and/or prerip overlays.

Note:

The printer must support the preloading and pre-ripping functions.
Mapping: Mapping an overlay enhances throughput by allowing the printer to download an object once and use it on subsequent pages of the same print job or possibly on subsequent print jobs. Overlays are always mapped so it is not necessary for you to request mapping. Mapping an overlay provides sufficient performance for most applications.
Preloading: Preloading an overlay consists of loading the object into printer memory before the print job is started. This enhances throughput by removing downloading time from real time to the page build time.
Preripping: Preripping enhances throughput by allowing the resources to be rasterized (RIPped) at the proper size and rotation when they are preloaded.

NOPRELOAD or PRELOAD Subcommand

NOPRELOAD | 
PRELOAD [NOPRERIP |
         PRERIP [RIPROTATE {0 | 90 | 180 | 270}…]]]

NOPRELOAD

Do not preload the overlay.

PRELOAD

Preload the overlay before processing the print job.

NOPRERIP

Do not prerip the overlay.

PRERIP

Prepare the overlay for printing by rasterizing it with its presentation rotation with respect to the media leading edge.

RIPROTATE { 0 │ 90 │ 180 │ 270 }

Specifies the overlay rotation with respect to the leading edge of the media. Up to 4 rotations can be specified.

Note:

Many factors, such as media selection, media side media loading, media orientation, page rotation, and overlay area rotation affect the orientation of the overlay with respect to the media leading edge. Therefore, proper specification of this parameter may require visual inspection of physical output.
The prefix O1 is not part of the six-character user-access name. The overlay name can be alphanumeric.
