Application programming interface; a set of function calls for achieving some purpose.
The original Impressario 1.0 data format; it has been obsoleted in favor of the Stream TIFF data format.
CMYK is a TIFF data format extension. See "Generic STIFF File Structure" in Appendix A for detailed information. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK, the subtractive color process primaries.
CMY data class is a subset of the CMYK class and differs from the CMYK class in a TIFF-compliant manner. See "Generic STIFF File Structure" in Appendix A for detailed information.
A database that is one of the three key components of the Impressario file conversion pipeline. These rules are well-documented in the Indigo Magic Integration Guide, available as an online book and installable from your IRIX CD.
See File Type Rules.

The System V release 3 command to send a print job to the printer. See the lp(1) man page.
The BSD command to send a print job to a printer. See the lpr(1) man page.
The System VR3 spooler job scheduler. Not invoked by end users.
Bitmapped data organized by pixel, with all color components for each pixel adjacent; for example., RGBRGBRGB . . .
Bitmapped data organized by color "plane," with all pixels arranged in planes of component colors, all components of one color, then another, etc.
A raster-based page-description language, most commonly HPGL or some variant.
See printer object database.
A printer with a built-in PostScript interpreter. The printer can only accept PostScript files.
A graphical end-user interface for submitting print jobs from applications. See the libprintui(3) man page for additional information.
A graphical end-user interface for managing and installing printers. See the man page for additional information.
A Bourne shell script that controls the filtering and printing of a set of files. Invoked by the lpsched command. See Chapter 4, "Printer Model Files."
A configuration file representing the capabilities of the printer. The .config file is part of the printer object database (POD).
The printer log file for the specified printer. The .log file is part of the printer object database (POD).
A status file indicating the current printing state. The .status file is part of the printer object database (POD).
The POD contains information on the current configuration, status, and job history of a single printer. It is the central database used by all printing filters and is maintained by each driver. See Appendix C, "Printer Object Database (POD) File Formats," for detailed information.
