.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I display
Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
.TP
.I drawable
Specifies the destination drawable for rendering.
.TP
.I data
Specifies the device-specific data sent.
.TP
.I data_len
Specifies the number of bytes in data.
.TP
.I doc_fmt
Specifies the type of data sent. 
See below for valid values. String limited to XPCS characters.
.TP
.I options
Specifies DDX driver dependent options.   String limited to XPCS characters.      
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Depending on type for XpStartDoc, XpPutDocumentData 
has two modes of operation.
.P
In XPDocRaw mode, XpPutDocumentData sends 
.I data 
directly to the output, and 
.I drawable 
must be None, else a BadDrawable error is generated. The X Print Server does not emit document or page control codes into the output, and data is passed through unmodified. This is useful for sending previously constructed and completed documents using the X Print Server job control and submission capabilities. The printer attribute xp-raw-formats-supported defines the valid values for 
.I doc_fmt 
in this mode. Unsupported values for 
.I doc_fmt 
cause a BadMatch error to be generated.
.P
In XPDocNormal mode, XpPutDocumentData sends 
.I data 
to the 
.I X Print Server
, and depending on the DDX driver implementation, integrates 
.I data 
into the output. The parameters 
.I doc_fmt 
and 
.I options 
describe the format of data which guides the DDX driver in interpreting data. The printer attribute 
xp-embedded-formats-supported defines the valid values for 
.I doc_fmt 
in this mode, with unsupported values for 
.I doc_fmt 
causing a BadMatch error to be generated.
.P
If 
.I doc_fmt 
is not in either xp-raw-formats-supported or 
xp-embedded-formats-supported a BadValue error is generated.
.P
Depending on the DDX driver implementation in use, XpPutDocumentData might be used, for example, to send a simple text file to a Postscript DDX driver that 
is capable of wrapping the appropriate document and page control constructs around the text so that it can be printed on a Postscript printer. Likewise, 
Encapsulated Postscript Files might be handled. Another use could be to send a 
TIFF file to a PCL DDX driver that can convert the image from TIFF into PCL and then integrate it into the current PCL output.
.P
There is no limit to the value of 
.I data_len. 
XpPutDocumentData automatically decomposes the call into multiple protocol requests to make sure that the 
maximum request size of the server is not exceeded.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.SM BadDrawable
The value specified for 
.I
drawable is not valid.
.TP 15
.SM BadMatch
The value specified for 
.I doc_fmt 
is not valid for the current document type 
or the value specified for 
.Idrawable 
is not valid for the print context and 
print screen.
.TP 15
.SM BadValue
The value specified for 
.I doc_fmt 
is not supported.
.TP 15
.SM XPBadContext
A valid print context-id has not been set prior to making this call.
.TP 15
.SM XPBadSequence
The function was not called in the proper order with respect to the other X Print Service Extension calls (for example, XpPutDocumentData prior to XpStartDoc).
