Demonstration and Production Modes
You can install the VI Compose software in two modes, Demonstration and Production.
DDeemmoonnssttrraattiioonn MMooddee
When VI Compose is installed without a production license file, it is considered to be installed in
demonstration mode. Demonstration mode is a full-featured version of VI Compose with two
exceptions:
•Customer support is not available
•Page volume limitations are imposed
VI Compose limits the number of pages that can be printed when running in Demonstration mode.
The limit is device-dependant and varies between 10 and 200 pages. VIPP
page volume limit will abort with the following error message:
Where:
nis the page volume limit for that device.
This error message indicates that the demonstration page capacity for the device has been exceeded
On some DocuColor printers, the error does not appear. Instead, jobs stop when the demonstration
limit is reached. The limit is 10, 57, 150 or 200 pages and depends upon the device.

Font Installation
During installation of VI Compose on VIPP®-enabled devices, and when installing VDP, VIE, and VIeC,
options for font installation is provided. Install only the fonts you use. When you avoid installing
unnecessary fonts, you save time and use less of the available memory on your VIPP
Specific information about Specialty Imaging fonts is located in Specialty Imaging with VIPP.
Support of OTF/TTF fonts is PostScript-interpreter dependant. Some PostScript interpreters support
OTF/TTF fonts. If the PostScript interpreter where VI Compose is installed supports OTF and TTF
fonts, you can use the fonts in VIPP
®
code.
You can place an OTF or TTF font in the same directory where PostScript fonts usually reside. When
you copy the OTF or TTF files to the font directory, delete the .otf and .ttf file extensions. After you
copy the fonts to the font directory, the fonts can be referenced from within the VIPP
the font file name, not the internal PostScript font name (/FontName).
As an example, to use the font RosewoodStd-Regular.otf:
1.Copy C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/RosewoodStd-Regular.otf to:
•x:\vide\fonts\RosewoodStd-Regular for VDP
•x:\vviewer\fonts\RosewoodStd-Regular for VIE
•/opt/XRXnps/resources/ps/fonts/RosewoodStd-Regular for FFPS (UNIX
systems)
•x:\efi\server\adobe\fonts\RosewoodStd-Regular for EFI
VI Compose Installation on FreeFlow Print

CCuussttoommiizzeedd FFiillee BBaacckkuupp
During an upgrade customized VIPP®files located in /usr/xgf/src and /usr/xgf/encoding,
are overwritten with new files of the same name. The system automatically copies and renames
those directories as a form of backup for customized files. The back up versions of the original
directories are /usr/xgf/ src.$OLDVER and /usr/xgf/encoding.$OLDVER, where
$OLDVER represents the previous version of VI Compose. When customized files exist in either of the
original directories, it is your responsibility to merge the customized contents of those files with the
new versions.
Xerox recommends that additional copies of all customized files be stored external to the system or
printed as hardcopy backup. This is extremely important if the customized file is not included in the
list below..
xgf/src/arb.defArabic configuration file
xgf/src/cjk.defAsian configuration file
xgf/src/xgfVI Compose startup file
xgf/src/xgf.batBackground attribute (bat) keys
xgf/src/xgf.defVI Compose system defaults
xgf/src/xgf.gepColor and graphical element property (gep) keys
xgf/encoding/fontlistGeneric format encoding font list
xgf/encoding/nullflNull encoding font list
Note: Any previous customization of the VI Compose environment will not be valid in a new
upgrade. Copying the old files has the potential of rendering the new functionality unusable.
Any customization will have to be repeated on the new files after a successful upgrade.
