|
||
|
|
<p>Object containers are used to carry non-Object Content Architecture (OCA)
|
||
|
|
objects in an Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) data stream.
|
||
|
|
Some such objects are Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Tagged Image File
|
||
|
|
Format (TIFF) images. These non-OCA objects can be <span class="italic">wrapped</span> or <span class="italic">unwrapped</span>. Wrapped objects are carried in
|
||
|
|
a Mixed Object Data Content Architecture (MO:DCA™) envelope called an object container.
|
||
|
|
Unwrapped objects are unaltered from their original form. If the object is
|
||
|
|
to be carried in MO:DCA resource groups and interchanged, it must be wrapped. </p>

|
||
|

<div class="notetitle" id="wq3">Note:</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">Print Services Facility™ (PSF) does not check
|
||
|
|
an object container's contents. Therefore, it is up to the user to verify
|
||
|
|
that the printer can handle the type of data in the object container. The Infoprint® Server PDF subsystem works like a printer. For information
|
||
|
|
about the types of images it can accept, see the <span class="italic">Infoprint Server
|
||
|
|
for iSeries™: User's Guide</span>.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Object containers, even though they contain non-OCA objects, are similar
|
||
|
|
to other AFP resources in these ways: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>They can be mapped. A mapped resource is downloaded once per spooled file,
|
||
|
|
irrespective of the number of times the resource is referenced within the
|
||
|
|
spooled file.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>They can be included on a page.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>They can be captured in the printer.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using object containers has several benefits: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can reference several types of MO:DCA objects in a spooled file without having
|
||
|
|
to include them in an overlay or page segment. These image types are image
|
||
|
|
data, bar code data and graphics data.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can scale and rotate these objects. With page segments and overlays,
|
||
|
|
you need to create one copy of the object in each orientation needed.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You can include images larger than 16 MB in your output. If an image exceeds
|
||
|
|
16 MB, the image cannot be stored as a page segment object.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Print applications can specify the use of non-OCA objects which refer
|
||
|
|
to other non-OCA objects, such as color mapping tables (which are printer-resident).
|
||
|
|
These are called <span class="italic">secondary resources</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Applications can use color objects with Intelligent Printer Data
|
||
|
|
Stream™ (IPDS™) printers.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The IBM® Infoprint Server for iSeries licensed program's PDF subsystem accepts
|
||
|
|
object containers with certain types of images as input.</li></ul>
