Describes the front (beginning) cover sheet. Each document will have a separate sheet.

Notes
XPS-compliant consumers MUST enforce that a URI reference to a resource such as an image or color profile in either a Print Capabilities document or PrintTicket MUST refer to a part name (a relative URI to the package root) within the same XPS Document package that contains the resultant PrintTicket. A compliant XPS consumer MUST NOT use a URI that is not compliant with the part name syntax. These settings are XPS specific.
URIs which are referenced in either a Print Capabilities document or PrintTicket MUST NOT be resolved as URLs. This is unsafe as they may not resolve as intended and may create harmful security risks for the driver and operating system.
