Glossary
Master host
A master host holds the master copy of the Xprint V7.0 database. When Xprint
V7.0 is introduced in a network, the first computer on which Xprint V7.0 is
installed and started assumes the role of the active master host. If Xprint
V7.0 is terminated on the active master, the next potential master host in what
is called the host hierarchy assumes its function as active master host.
Migrated files
These are files stored on a remote media in order to extend disk space using
the remote storage facility from Windows 2000.
Object
This is a generic term for the individual components with which you work
under Xprint V7.0 (e.g. printers, printer groups, print jobs, forms).
Option
These are special instructions used to govern command execution. All
options are preceded by a minus sign (-). With most of the Xprint V7.0
commands you can specify several options (also simultaneously). The
command line xpadd -dr text -de printer -fm form1, for example, contains
the options -dr, -de and -fm which are used to alter the function of the
xpadd command.
Parasite host
A parasite host is a host which does not have a copy of the Xprint V7.0
database. It requires Xprint V7.0 to be running on a specific computer which
is assigned to it as the database server if Xprint V7.0 is to be accessed from
the parasite host.
PCL (printer capability list)
This is an object containing all the information Xprint V7.0 needs for
controlling a printer. It describes how print options are to be converted into
the corresponding control characters the printer needs. Furthermore, it
contains information on the technical features of the printer (e.g. its
connection protocol) and the conversion of common control characters (form
feed, line feed, etc.) performed by the printer. It also describes how the
dialog is to be conducted with the printer.
