BARR2EPS

Use this utility to convert Metacode files in BARR format into EPS (Enterprise Printing System) format so you can then print the files on a Xerox EPS printer via a TCP/IP connection.

Note BARR format is a print-ready format if you use a BARR server to submit the print stream.

This utility is typically used when you have multiple printers (some BARR and some EPS) or when you upgrade from a BARR server to an EPS printer and have archived print streams in BARR format.
