Chapter 24. Generating and submitting color mapping table
source and output files
A color mapping table is a printer resource object that defines a translation from
certain MO:DCA structured fields to new color structured fields used by newer
printers. Color mapping tables are used to provide support for highlight color
attachments with black-and-white printers, such as using the InfoPrint 4005
attachment with the InfoPrint 4000 printer. You can also use a color mapping table
to map highlight colors into richer colors on a color printer like the InfoPrint Color
130 Plus printer. To apply color to black and white documents, you must use the
following procedure to create Color Mapping Table Source and Output Files. See
the
InfoPrint Manager: Reference for information about the cmt utility or to the
appropriate man page.
You can define translations from non-color fields to color, old color fields to new
color fields, and from new color fields to different new color fields. Therefore, you
can use existing applications and documents with new color fields without having
to change the documents or applications. Also, you can use various color
mappings with a single document to print the document using color in different
ways without changing the original document.
Using the AFP architectural reference, you can apply color to existing black and
white documents. The sample configuration file
cmt.cfg contains user-defined
specifications, and should be available in the usr/lpp/psf/config directory. The cmt
utility that uses the cmt.cfg configuration file should be available in the
/usr/lpp/psf/bin directory on your InfoPrint AIX server. Note that a MOD:CA
sample color mapping table, named cmtsampl , can be found in usr/lpp/psf/config/ .
This color mapping table was produced by the sample cmt.cfg file.
The cmt utility lets you create color mappings in a variety of different color modes
that are defined through the ColorSpace parameter. For example, the Highlight
value can be used when printing to an InfoPrint 4000 printer with an InfoPrint
Highlight Color Model HC2 Post-Processor (HCPP). For more information about
the HCPP, see the
InfoPrint Hi-Lite Color Printer: Library Catalog .
Parts of a color mapping table
A color mapping table consists of a base part, a set of source groups, and a set of
target groups. The base part identifies the color mapping table with a type of
either
reset
or
normal
.
The simplest possible color mapping table is a reset color mapping table, which
tells the printer to do no transformations on the color information found in the
document. A reset color mapping table has no source or target groups; all other
color mapping tables have at least one source and one target group.
Using source groups
Each source group has an identification (ID) number, which is used to match the
source group with a corresponding target group. You can have unique ID numbers;
however, if you create the color mapping table without the
cmt Utility and want to
map several source groups to a single target group, you can use the same ID
number on multiple source groups. Valid ID values are 1–127.
