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 C800 Series uses the following resource life cycles.
Captured resource: The IPDS host can download a resource when a required resource is not available on the printer. To increase the performance the downloaded IPDS resources can be captured on the printer disk for later reuse. The IPDS host is informed about the availability of the resource but still needs to activate the resource. Captured resources are visible in the Settings Editor. Only when the [Font capture] function in the loaded transaction setup is set to enabled the capturing of resources takes place. This setting also controls whether captured or installed resources are selectable. Note that due to the IPDS host configuration there can be downloaded resource which are not captured.
Imported resource: Resources can be imported one by one or in a batch. Imported resources are visible in the Settings Editor.
Installed resource: Imported resources can be installed. The installed resources are visible in the Settings Editor.
Permanent resource: Permanent resources are factory installed and are not visible in the Settings Editor.

* 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.
