Interconnectivity Examples
The Converters application in DesignPro Manager converts image file formats such as
IMG (Xerox image), LGO (Xerox logo), LP3 (Elixir Legacy Graphic), BMP, JPEG, JPE,
JPG, PCX, and TIFF to Elixir format for use in DesignPro Graphics Editor.
The Converters application also converts a Xerox font to Elixir format, which you can
import for placement in an image using Graphics Editor.
Using DesignPro Graphics Editor, you can create and edit fonts, and load them directly by
tiling graphics into equal rectangles, each corresponding to a font character. Fonts created
in Graphics Editor can also be imported and edited in the DesignPro Font Editor, and then
converted to the Xerox format and printed on any Xerox printer.
Images created in Graphics Editor can then be used with DesignPro Form Editor to
enhance form appearance.
Associated DesignPro Applications
DesignPro Tools for Xerox employs integrated applications to provide advanced
functionality for creating resources such as documents, overlays, fonts and images for
Xerox jobs. Each application helps you create or modify one or more of these necessary
resources in a simple environment.

DesignPro Manager: a Windows-based desktop program for managing and
converting resources to multiple supported formats. You can also open other
DesignPro Tools applications using the DesignPro Manager.
