6.10 Administering filters
This section describes how to add filters to the Xprint V7.0 system, or how to
modify or delete exiting filters. The following table serves as a guide to this
section:
6.10.1 Adding filters
With the xpadd -flt command you can add a new filter to your system. A filter
can be added with specific attributes, e.g. input and output data formats and
special modes. The filters suitable for a job are selected according to these
attributes.
There are two possible ways of adding a new slow or fast filter: you can either
create a filter from scratch by setting all the required options yourself or you can
copy a similar filter and modify the relevant options.
As already mentioned, you can choose between slow and fast filters. By
default the system uses slow filters (-tp SLOW). To use fast filters, you
must always specify the -tp FAST option.
Creating a new slow filter
● To add a new slow filter for use in the Xprint V7.0 system, enter the following
command:
xpadd -flt filter_name -cm command -it input_content_type \
-ot output_content_type -op [options]
