Types of Xerox resources that you can load

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

Table 1 contains information about the Xerox resources that you copy to the z/OS system and the files that Infoprint XT creates when you load the resources:

  • Column one lists the types of Xerox resources and the valid file extension for each type. The actual names of Xerox resources are up to six characters. Xerox resource names can also contain numbers, and dollar signs ($). For example, p0612c.fnt is a common Xerox font.
  • Column two specifies the prefixes for the AFP files that Infoprint XT generates from printable Xerox resources. Infoprint XT generates a single AFP file for each form, image, and logo. It generates three AFP files for each single-byte font; a coded font file, a character set file, and a code page file. If the entry in this column is empty, the associated Xerox resource is a non-printable resource.
  • Column three specifies the extensions of the metrics files that Infoprint XT generates from the Xerox resources.
