Invoking Send and Save from the command line

If you are sending a job to a printer that supports Send and Save functions (and it is not already specified in the data stream), you can specify it from the command line. Send and Save is invoked by using the -S flag and you can select from these options:
  • 0 Print now (Default)
  • 1 Print one copy and hold job
  • 2 Hold job until you enter PIN

    Ensure that you set your Personal Identification Number (PIN) by specifying -S2 -ynnnn. The PIN is the number you need to enter on your printer's Saved Jobs menu to release the document for printing. If you do not fill in the nnnn with your PIN, the printer forces this number to 0000.

  • 3 Print later
  • 4 Print now and save
  • 5 Save
  • 6 Print Now and Archive to Document Server
  • 7 Archive to Document Server (without a PIN)
  • 7 Archive to Document Server (with a PIN)

    Ensure that you set your PIN by specifying -S7 -ynnnn. The PIN is the number you need to enter on your printer's Saved Jobs menu to release the document for printing. If you do not fill in the nnnn with your PIN, the printer forces this number to 0000.

    Note:
  1. If the -S flag is not set to anything other than either option 2 or 7, the printer ignores the PIN (-y ) number.
  2. Options 6 and 7 are not available with InfoPrint 2085 and InfoPrint 2105.

For example, if you are submitting to an AIX actual destination and you want your printer to print one copy of job1 and save it, enter this command:

pdpr -d ldname -x "destination-pass-through='-S4'" job1
where ldname is the name of the logical destination associated with your InfoPrint 2090ES, 2105ES, 2060ES, 2075ES, 2085, or 2105 actual destination in InfoPrint Manager.

If you are submitting to a PSF-Other actual destination, you must put a "-BE" value in the destination-pass-through attribute in front of the -S flag for the Send and Save commands to work correctly. For example, if you want your PSF-Other actual destination printer to print one copy of job1 and save it, enter this command: 

pdpr -d ldname -x "destination-pass-through='-BE -S4'" job1
where ldname is the name of the logical destination associated with your printer.

If you are submitting to an AIX actual destination and you want your InfoPrint 2090ES printer to hold your job until you enter a PIN, enter this command:

pdpr -d ldname -x "destination-pass-through='-S2 -ynnnn'" job1
where nnnn is your four-digit PIN.
