1. A method of operating an Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) system comprising:
- creating an (AFP) document for outputting comprising;
adding a component to the AFP document;
adding a color management resource (CMR) to the AFP document;
adding an association which associates the component with the CMR to the AFP document, the CMR comprising details for use when rendering colors of at least part of the component during its output; and
adding a command to the AFP document for invoking the associated CMR during output of the at least part of the component wherein the command specifies a scope for invocation of the CMR; and
providing the AFP document for output at a target device.

Abstract
The management of color presented at end point devices such as a display or printer is based on the implementation of a Color Management Resource (CMR). A CMR is an architected resource stored accessibly to a print server or other processor that is used to carry all of the color management information required to render a print file, document, page, or data object.

4. A data processing apparatus defining an Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) system comprising:
-
a document creator for creating an AFP document for outputting, the document creator comprising; a component adder for adding a component to the AFP document; an association adder for adding an association that associates the component with a color management resource (CMR) to the AFP document; the CMR comprising details for use when rendering colors of at least part of the component during its output; and a command adder for adding a command to the AFP document for invoking the associated CMR during output of the at least part of the component; and a document provider for providing the AFP document for output at a target device. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. An Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) system defining an article of manufacture comprising a program storage medium readable by a computer, the medium tangibly embodying one or more programs of instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:
-
creating an AFP document for outputting comprising; adding a component to the AFP document; adding an association which associates the component with a color management resource (CMR) to the AFP document, the CMR comprising details for use when rendering the colors of at least part of the component during its output; and adding a command to the AFP document for invoking the associated CMR during output of the at least part of the component; and providing the AFP document for output at a target device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A method of operating an Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) system comprising the steps of:
-
producing computer executable program code; and providing the program code to be deployed and executed on a computer system; the program code comprising instructions for; creating an AFP document for outputting comprising; adding a component to the AFP document; and adding an association which associates the component with a color management resource (CMR) to the AFP document, the CMR comprising details for use when rendering the colors of at least part of a component during its output; and providing the AFP document for output at a target device; wherein the details relate to at least one of a color conversion, a link color conversion, a halftone screen, and a calibration curve; wherein the instructions for creating the AFP document for output comprises further instructions for adding a command to the AFP document; and wherein the command invokes the associated CMR during output of the at least part of a component. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
