METRESRC

Use this utility to determine the Xerox resources used by a Metacode print stream. You can also use this utility to combine an original Metacode print stream along with its required Xerox resources into a new Metacode print stream.

The types of Xerox resource files supported by this utility are:

Xerox fonts (.FNT files)
Xerox images (.IMG files)
Xerox forms (.FRM files)
Xerox logos (.LGO files)

Note

The METRESRC utility does not try to determine if there are Xerox files already contained (embedded) within a Metacode print stream. If you use a Metacode print stream that contains the required Xerox resources, the utility adds these resources again to a new Metacode print stream.
