Use of the * (asterisk) wildcard character

Some of the xxx-ready and xxx-supported actual destination attributes with which you can specify general text strings as values allow the use of the * (asterisk) wildcard character. When the * (asterisk) wildcard character is specified, any value of the xxx attribute is accepted in the validation and scheduling of a job. For example, if you specify job-batches-ready=* for an actual destination, a job with any value specified in the job-batch attribute is accepted and possibly scheduled for that actual destination.

These xxx-ready and xxx-supported actual destination attributes allow the use of the * (asterisk) wildcard character:

  • classes-ready
  • forms-ready
  • job-batches-ready
  • media-ready
  • end-sheets-supported
  • input-trays-supported
  • media-supported
  • output-bins-supported
  • separator-sheets-supported
  • start-sheets-supported
