How do I insert a variable TIFF file into a document for Xerox printing?

For instance, suppose you need to insert a two-page TIFF file into Metacode output and the TIFF data changes approximately once month. You want to keep the print output file as small as possible.

The best way to do this is to convert each page of the TIFF file into a separate graphic file. Then convert each graphic into a Xerox IMG file that can be stored on the printer. The IMG and graphic file must have the same name.

Next, create two new forms or two-page form onto which each graphic will be placed. Insert the new forms in your form list and set a recipient trigger to trigger the forms for each transaction.

Include this option in your INI file:

< PrtType:XER >

ImageOpt = Yes

Keep in mind that if you set the ImageOpt option to Yes, the system assumes all graphics in your master resource library have been converted to IMG files and are stored on the printer.
