Subcommand

PSEG

Specifies a page segment object, as described in the Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MODCA) Reference Manual. All mapping types (OBMAP) are allowed by PPFA; however, the print server issues an error if any of the objects contained in the page segment is not compatible with the coded OBMAP parameter.

GOCA

Specifies a graphics object, as described in the Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) Reference Manual. GOCA allows you to specify TRIM, FIT, CENTER, REPEAT, and FILL parameters on the OBMAP subcommand.

BCOCA

Specifies a bar code object, as described in the Bar Code Object Content Architecture (BCOCA) Reference Manual. BCOCA allows you to specify only the LEFT parameter on the OBMAP subcommand.

IOCA

Specifies a image object, as described in the Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) Reference Manual. The IOCA object type allows you to specify TRIM, FIT, CENTER, REPEAT, and FILL parameters on the OBMAP subcommand.

OTHER

Specifies other object data. The object data to be included is a paginated presentation object with a format that may or may not be defined by an AFP presentation architecture. When you specify OTHER, you must also specify the OBID parameter. The OTHER object type allows you to specify TRIM, FIT, CENTER, REPEAT, and FILL parameters on the OBMAP subcommand.

OBID

Specifies either a component identifier or a type name from Table Non-OCA Objects Supported by IOB in Subcommands.

RI is used to modify the final appearance of color data and is defined by the International Color Consortium (ICC). For more information on RI see the current level of the ICC Specification.

PERCEPTUAL

Perceptual rendering intent. It can be abbreviated as PERCP. With this rendering intent, gamut mapping is vendor-specific, and colors are adjusted to give a pleasing appearance. This intent is typically used to render continuous-tone images.

SATURATION

saturation rendering intent. It can be abbreviated as SATUR. With this rendering intent, gamut mapping is vendor-specific, and colors are adjusted to emphasize saturation. This intent results in vivid colors and is typically used for business graphics.

RELCM

media-relative colorimetric rendering intent. In-gamut colors are rendered accurately, and out-of-gamut colors are mapped to the nearest value within the gamut. Colors are rendered with respect to the source white point and are adjusted for the media white point. Therefore colors printed on two different media with different white points won't match colorimetrically, but may match visually. This intent is typically used for vector graphics.

ABSCM

ICC-absolute colorimetric rendering intent. In-gamut colors are rendered accurately, and out-of-gamut colors are mapped to the nearest value within the gamut. Colors are rendered only with respect to the source white point and are not adjusted for the media white point.Therefore colors printed on two different media with different white points should match colorimetrically, but may not match visually. This intent is typically used for logos.

AUDIT

CMRs with the audit processing mode refer to processing that has already been applied to a resource. In most cases, audit CMRs describe input data and are similar to ICC input profiles.

The audit processing mode is used primarily with color conversion CMRs. In audit processing mode, those CMRs indicate which ICC profile must be applied to convert the data into the Profile Connection Space (PCS).

INSTR

CMRs with the instruction processing mode refer to processing that is done to prepare the resource for a specific printer using a certain paper or another device. Generally, instruction CMRs refer to output data and are similar to ICC output profiles.

The instruction processing mode is used with color conversion, tone transfer curve, and halftone CMRs. In instruction processing mode, these CMRs indicate how the system must convert a resource so it prints correctly on the target printer. The manufacturer of your printer should provide ICC profiles or a variety of CMRs that you can use. Those ICC profiles and CMRs might be installed in the printer controller, included with the printer on a CD, or available for download from the manufacturer's Web site.

LINK

This CMR defines a direct color conversion from an input color space to a device output color space; process the CMR as a link CMR. This processing mode is only valid for device link (DL) CMRs. The PPFA command RENDER is not used with device link (DL) CMRs as such CMRs specify the intended rendering intent internally. This function requires print server (PSF) and printer support which is in addition to the original CMR support.
