Overview of MECCA 2000 Welcome to Amgraf's MECCA 2000 System Overview of MECCA 2000 Welcome to Amgraf’s MECCA 2000 System MECCA 2000 is the next generation of Amgraf’s MECCA III - the world’s premier business forms composition system. The software offers designers a comprehensive suite of tools to create multi-color, multi-part forms with graduated screens, borders and pantographs, scanned logos, barcodes, and fine typography. For label manufacturing, the software includes trapping, flexographic distortion, and a unique step-and-repeat feature. To add security to any document, MECCA 2000 provides functions for superimposed hidden "Void" messages, a relief line generator, microprint composer, prismatic color mixer, and PixeLace for lacey backgrounds. With batch pagination, forms production from order-entry to plate can be entirely automated. Finished designs are output via PostScript as flawless color-separated negatives or printing plates, or they may be transmitted to digital color printing presses for high-speed variable-imaging applications. The Colorful Graphical Interface The MECCA 2000 Screen A colorful point-and-click graphical interface assists the forms designer. The elegant arrangement of the status readouts, menu buttons, and drawing window allows the operator to control the MECCA 2000 software with confidence. For each drawing tool, option windows "pop-up" by clicking the right mouse button. For every step, "next action prompts" appear at the top of the screen to guide the user. An on-line help feature is also available whenever a question arises. Pop-up menus and dialog boxes for each function are conditionally displayed as the operator clicks on a menu. The complete features and capabilites of MECCA 2000 are documented in the MECCA 2000 On-Line User Guide. Key Differences of the MECCA 2000 System There are several key differences between our MECCA III system and the new MECCA 2000. They are listed below: Major Window Display Changes Prompt at top left of screen Unit of Measure at top right of screen Coordinate readout at top of screen Zoom and Window-Fit always available Light brown background instead of gray New Look and Feel with Pop-Up Menus and Dialog Boxes Combine Drawing Recognizes File Types During Load Printing Changes Separations and composites are allowed for all devices Will print a layer even though it is turned off on display - looks at output specification file for all output layer control Line Changes Four Directions Perpendicular Line Use Prorating to draw a rectangle Box Changes Undo for Resize and Divide by Columns/Rows All Direction and Four Direction Resize Spline Additions Keep Common Slope Move a Joint Area Functions Picking outline boundaries for Area much easier. Arcs and Splines no longer need broken when intersected. Text Changes Spelling checker within input Can only select text styles which truly exists, pulls list from font directory Layer Layer button controls both on/off and color setup 32 Layers Position Assistant has Two New Options Last Dir/Dist Line End Scaling Factors are in Percentages New Window Display Option for Hiding 0-Weight Lines New Grid Controls Print Position - This moves 0/0 for readout purposes and reports cursor position by grids. C/L Readout Comparison of Features Available with Amgraf’s MECCA™ Software Products: Mecca 2000 is the next generation forms design system from Amgraf, Inc.

You are doing just that, but the option allows it to be used through the draw box function. For step-and-repeat pantographs you must start with a scanned image. Following are instructions on preparing the pantograph section. When creating your sections all procedures must be followed in order for the font and actual displays to correctly generate. Please read through the entire procedure before attempting your first font. Creating Directories to Hold Files Within your normal user login, create a directory Pantos to hold the pantographs. Within

    Linux 下玩转扫描仪 作者：曹江华 扫描仪是现代办公的重要外设。Linux 对扫描仪的支持是通过 SANE（Acanner Access Now Easy） 软件包进行的。查询如何在 Linux 下使用扫描仪，那 SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)站点就可以 告诉你该怎么办了。况且，该站点不仅有最流行的 Linux 扫描仪软件，而且还以兼容硬件的数据库 而颇具特色。这时可以连线到：http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html ， 进行查询。 通常会得到六个查询结果： 1、 complete（完全支持 Linux 下使用扫描仪，并且可以使用扫描仪的所有功能和分辨率）。 2 、 good（大部分功能支持 Linux 下使用，但是可能有一些小缺陷）。 3 、 basic （基本上支持 Linux 下使用，许多功能不能实现） 。 4、 minimal （最小程度上支持 Linux 下使用，但是工作质量不理想）。 5 、 untested（没有经过测试可能可以使用）。 6 、 unsupported（不能使用）。 Linux 对 SANE 的支持包括两个方面：1、对底层接口设备的支持（SCSI 和 USB 等）， 2 、对一个 具体型号的支持。SANE 是一个应用程序接口；它包含三个部分，使用命令查询： rpm -qa|grep sane sane-frontends-1.0.9-2 ＃实现API的库（中间件） sane-backends-1.0.9-5 ＃访问扫描以的驱动程序（后端程序） xsane-gimp-0.89-3 #gimp的扫描仪插件 sane-backends-devel-1.0.9-5 xsane-0.89-3 ＃调用 API 的程序（前端程序） SANE 的配置文件是：/etc/sane.d/dll.conf 和/etc/sane.d/目录下的其他文件。 /etc/sane.d/dll.conf：本身包含许多后端程序列表。它们通常以扫描仪制造商命名。SANE 调用时会搜索这个列表。 特定扫描仪配置文件：除了/etc/sane.d/dll.conf 之外，/etc/sane.d/还包含一些其他特定 扫描仪的配置文件，这些文件是工具后端程序命名的，后缀是.conf。 一、设备检测 通常有两个命令可以查询扫描仪的情况，sane-find-scanner 和 scanimage 。 sane-find-scanner 用来搜索本地扫描仪的接口: sane-find-scanner # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x2060) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2060 [ FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:002:002 # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by # SANE.
