Can PDF file content stream refer to the stream in resource?

One of PDF page's content stream is as follows: q Q q Q q /Fm1 Do Q

What does it mean by /Fm1? Is it any standard format? Do we always need to search in resources XObject stream?

Right now /Fm1 entry is there in /Resources-> /XObject -> /Fm1.

Please help me to solve this.

/Fm1 refers to a named resource.

PDF consumers look up the dictionary of named resources attached to the page (or Form XObject or other compound object -- in any event: the object with which the stream is associated).

See the PDF 1.7 Reference, page 89, Section 7.8 "Content Streams and Resources".
