Use this utility to optimize Metacode print streams before they are sent to the printer. This utility combines Metacode print records into larger and fewer records. Reducing the number of records that must be transmitted reduces the amount of time needed to spool the Metacode print stream to the printer.
The METOPT utility detects errors in the Metacode information caused by the data passed or by the compiled resources used. This helps you detect errors before printing. This utility also notes comment (or pure text) records that are loaded and will output a copy of the most recent comment record when it detects errors in a Metacode print stream.
The utility also lets you use common font lists at the beginning of a Metacode print stream. A common font list names all of the Xerox fonts that will be used by the print job. This helps some Metacode printers print jobs at their highest rated speed.
