Data Objects
Presentation data objects contain a single type of data (such as GIF, JPEG, and TIFF
images) and can be used in your print jobs. These data objects can be placed directly
in a page or overlay or can be defined as resources and included in pages or overlays.
Using a data object as a resource is more efficient when that object appears more
than once in a print job; resources are downloaded to the printer just once and referenced
as needed.
Data objects can either be included inline with a print job or installed in a resource library by using software such as AFP Resource Installer. If you install your data objects in a resource library, you can associate color conversion CMRs with them.
