Introduction to Vitesse

Vitesse is a Windows-based, visual design environment for rapid and cost-effective
creation of variable applications and resources for B/W, Highlight and Full color
VIPP printing.

You can visually map XML, database resident or host - base d line dat a o n y our
applications, design professional looking forms with the extensive drawing toolbar,
create data driven graphics and apply conditional logic on text, images and page
layout properties. Vitesse provides both a visual and a source code environment for
designing applications. Adequate support to import and modify hand-coded VIPP
applications and resources is also provided. For newly designed applications in
Vitesse or imported ones, Vitesse provides a source view of the VIPP code. For
VIPP-savvy programmers, this feature allows them to view, edit and compile code
changes in an integrated environment. You can also import Xerox native format
objects, such as forms (FRMs), fonts (FNT) and images (IMGs and LGOs) for
migration from LCDS and Metacode environments..

Chapter 1: Introduction 9

Vitesse fully supports the creation of all VIPP project modes: Native, Database, Line
and XML, along with the creation of VIPP forms and segments. Additionally, the
VIPP application code from Vitesse can be sent to Xerox’s VIPP Thin Printer, which
is a special distiller for distilling and converting VIPP code to PDF. The VIPP Thin
Printer can be resident on the PostScript print controller or any server or client
machine running Windows NT or Windows 2000. For more information on the VIPP
Thin Printer, please contact your local Xerox Representative. For complete step-by­step instructions on creating bookmarks in Vitesse, refer to online help or the Vitesse
User Guide.

Vitesse also extends Xerox PDF workflow functionality by providing the following
features:

! Drag and drop workflow for creating P DF b o okmarks.
! PDF bookmark creation in all three VIPP modes.
! Creation of single-level bookmarks or sub-bookmarks for hierarchical bookmark

levels within a PDF.

! PDF splitting based on the bookmarks.

Understanding the VIPP Modes

Vitesse supports the following VIPP modes for designing and testing your projects:

! Native mode
! Line mode
! Database mode
! XML mode

These modes or project types are based on the various VIPP input data formats and
are discussed in the following sections.

What is Native Mode?

You can use the Native mode for creating, positioning and printing static data on a
physical page, such as text, images, lines, boxes, forms and segments.

Both Native mode and VIPP forms are used to build static designs with no merging of
variable data. A Native mode document can include one or many forms in its
definition, where a VIPP form is a single page Native mode document. In this mode,
you can create applications that support fully composed Native mode data streams.
For example, you can create application forms or promotional flyers using this mode.
Native mode is not intended for variable data handling.

10 Vitesse Getting Started Guide

What is Line Mode?

Line mode creates and manages legacy data streams for transactional documents, such
as telephone bills, banking statements, credit card statements, insurance invoices and
sales reports. Legacy data streams can be either line data or print-ready data.

You can use Line mode to read, process and format line printer data on a line-by-line
(record) or column-by-column (field) basis. You can also import Job Descriptor
Tickets (JDT) for editing within Vitesse.

Line mode accepts line data, which can be organized in either of these two ways:

Prefixed data file

A prefixed data file contains prefixes at the beginning of each record to identify the
record contents. Vitesse uses this prefix to locate and define each record type for
printing. All records with the same prefix use the same properties for printing.

Non-prefixed data file

A non-prefixed data file does not have prefixes, so Vitesse uses a start li ne number
and end line number to locate records. Vitesse counts the records, or lines, in the data
file to locate a specific record for printing.

Either of these two file formats can use fixed or delimited records to identify field
information. Fixed records identify field information using a start byte and length,
where delimited records use a field number.

What is Database Mode?

Database mode documents are used for processing files containing field-delimited
records. Database mode can create documents such as mailers, promotional flyers
and insurance contracts. Data for these documents is extracted from a database file.
In a database file, records can be either fixed or variable length, separated by a
delimiter. The first line of the data file contains the field names. The remaining lines
contain variable data in order of the field names.

What is XML Mode?

Extensible Markup Language (XML) mode creates VIPP applications using data from
XML data files. XML mode documents process data files containing tags, attributes,
and values. Tags, attributes, and values identify the data file content. All information
is enclosed between bounding tags.

Delimited and/or prefixed data files are not supported in XML mode.

Chapter 1: Introduction 11

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VIPP?

Variable-data Intelligent PostScript Printware (VIPP) is a Xerox proprietary print
stream. VIPP is a superset of PostScript, an open system solution allowing users to
efficiently create Xerox printer applications. It was originally called Xerox Generic
Format (XGF) as a Xerox response to customer requirements for creating dynamic
documents. The key purpose of VIPP is to enable line printer and database data to be
formatted and printed using PostScript features at production speeds using Dynamic
Document Construction (DDC). DDC is based on real time composition of the
document at the printer or imaging device. Components such as images, fonts, and
forms can be stored locally on disk drives or accessed from networked disk drives.
The DDC model also improves performance by enabling a “RIP once / Use many”
capability. In short, this functionality allows you to reuse various components of a
document with other documents.

How is VIPP different from traditional PostScript?

Unlike PostScript, the VIPP file relies on external resources such as VIPP code,
forms, Job Descriptor Tickets (JDTs), or images. These external resources must be
accessible to the PostScript interpreter through external devices, such as a disk or
cartridge, or loaded in memory when the job is processed. VIPP features and
functions provide enhanced variable data printing performance through the use of
cached object elements, dynamic text flow, data driven graphics, data formatting,
conditional processing, and workflow improvements

.

Which printers can be used for printing VIPP?

VIPP is supported on these printers:

! DocuColor
! DocuPrint
! DocuTech
! PDF viewing and printing of Vitesse generat ed VIPP applications using VIPP

Thin Printer.

Contact your Xerox representative for information about limited support on these
printers:

! DocuPrint N-series
! DocumentCenter
! Phaser printers

Which types of fonts are supported in Vitesse?

Vitesse supports True Type or PostScript Type 1 fonts. These fonts are associated
with a VIPP font name using a font map, which is editable. The VIPP font name is
used to locate the appropriate PostScript Type 1 or Type 3 font on the printer at print
time.

12 Vitesse Getting Started Guide

Vitesse installs with the most common VIPP font names already set up
to match their True Type equivalent in the font map. You can install
PostScript fonts on your operating system and add them to the font map
so that Vitesse uses the same font for displaying as the printer uses to
print. You can also change the default mappings if necessary to match
your font usage.
If both True Type and PostScript fonts are available, Vitesse will use the
PostScript font for display.

Which types of images are supported in Vitesse?

Vitesse supports most contemporary image file formats, including BMP, JPEG, TIFF,
etc. Vitesse automatically packages formats not compatible with VIPP printing in the
correct format into the zipped VPC during the export process.

PostScript files and forms, including Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) resources, can be
inserted as a segment for use within a form or project file. You can use high-level
document processing applications (such as Word, FrameMaker, Excel and
PageMaker) to create a PostScript file for inserting into a Vitesse segment.

PostScript files and forms are not editable in Vitesse.

What is a VIPP segment?

A segment is a VIPP Native mode or a PostScript fragment intended to be reproduced
once or several times at specific locations on a page. Segments can include PostScript
files or forms and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, as well as other image
formats.

What is a VIPP form?

A form is a single-page VIPP Native mode document intended to be reproduced
identically in the background on each page of a job.

How is Resource Caching Done on the Printer?

VIPP supports resource pre-rasterization and caching on the printer. CACHE is the
VIPP command to cache an object within a job. This means that as the job processes,
the first time an object is found, VIPP will cache it and the next time the object is
called, the ripped object will be used. Objects cached this way only stay active for the
length of the job.

An object that is cached, when called again within the job using different orientation,
rotation, or scale parameters, will force the object to be re-ripped and cached. So if
you use a logo in two scales on the page, you will not get the benefit of caching and
the object will be forced to rip each time it is called.

Chapter 1: Introduction 13

All printers, assuming current software levels, with the exception of the monochrome
DocuSP controllers, the N-Series and Phasers and the Document Centers support
VIPP caching. This includes all Creo and EFI DFE's - (2045, 2060, 6060, iGEN3),
NPS 8.0 systems – both monochrome, highlight and full color. Color DocuSP
supports VIPP caching.

What is the VPC export format?

VIPP Project Container (VPC) is a mechanism that simplifies the handling of a job’s
components by logically and physically grouping components as part of a single
entity. The logical grouping is the VIPP Project. The physical grouping is referred to
as the VIPP Project Container (VPC).

When using VPC, you can track and store the files that make up the project as a single
entity. In addition, VPC can be used to identify, organize, and store the components
of a job under a single name (the project) and can also group jobs by categories (the
folder). This allows you to package all of the project components in a single file (the
container), as well as to use and transfer them among applications, devices, and
locations.

This container is the project resources and a VIPP project file zipped
into a standard ZIP container. The contents of a VPC can be
decompressed using WinZip.
