SOFTWARE
Xerox Forms Generator
The Xerox Forms Generator (XFG) is a host-resident forms design
software package (on IBM MVS or VM) that allows forms to be
created, changed, and merged with data at the host for printing.
Note: Version 3.0 or higher of XFG is required to support the
color capabilities of the 4890 LPS.
CompuSet (Document Sciences Corporation)
CompuSet, developed by Document Sciences Corporation, is a
publication production system that enables the complete
composition of manuals, price lists, catalogs, and other types of
publishing applications.
Tables of contents, indexes, and footnotes can be created with
CompuSet by extracting information from the text stream. If
desired, graphics, text, and forms may be merged.
Note: CompuSet Version 6.0 is required to support the color
capabilities of the 4890 LPS.
Xerox Printer Access Facility
The Xerox Printer Access Facility (XPAF) enhances the capabilities
and use of your LPS in an IBM MVS/XA environment. For
example, it allows you to change printer destinations without
restructuring the data stream. XPAF accepts numerous types of
data streams, transforms and conditions them, and then sends
them to the selected printer. To users of IBM Advanced
Function Printing (AFP), XPAF appears to be an extension of the
IBM product.
Note: XPAF Version 2.1 or higher is required to support the
color capabilities of the 4890 LPS.
