VI Document Formats
VI jobs are created using VI authoring programs that support
Variable Print Specification formats. Most VI authoring programs
can convert VI files to conventional PostScript files, which can also
be processed by the IC-301 print controller, although less
efficiently than Variable Print Specification files. Each authoring
program creates VI code that instructs the RIP where to place the
VI elements and each authoring program does so in a slightly
different manner.
The format you choose can be a stand-alone format that covers all
aspects of document design, data management and text capture
or it can be an extension of an existing program that enables the
creation of VI documents and VI jobs.
The IC-301 print controller can process VI jobs that are in one of
the following file formats:
• Creo Variable Print Specification
•
Personal Print Markup Language (PPML)
• PostScript
