There are several types of resources that you can manage and use for transaction printing:
Fonts
Code pages
Color mapping tables
Data objects, such as font files, image types or color management resources
The imagePRESS V900 series uses the following types of resources.
Captured resources: The IPDS host can download a resource via the IPDS data stream if a required resource is not available on the printer. To increase the performance, the downloaded resources can be captured on the printer disk for later reuse. After capturing, the IPDS host gets informed about available captured resources but still must activate the captured resources. Captured resources are visible in the Settings Editor. Only when the [Font capture] setting in the loaded transaction setup is enabled the capturing of resources can take place. This setting also controls whether captured or installed resources are selectable.
Imported resources: Resources can be imported one by one or in a batch. Imported resources are visible in the Settings Editor.
Installed resources: Imported resources can be installed. The installed resources are visible in the Settings Editor.
Permanent resources: Permanent resources are factory installed and are not visible in the Settings Editor.
Installed resourcesOpen the Settings Editor and go to: .

* A captured bitmap font is related to a specific captured code page. When one of these captured resources is deleted, the other related captured resource is also deleted.
** You can only perform this task when transaction printing is offline.
*** Capturing resources can only take place when transaction printing is online.
