Usage Guidelines

  • The value of the plex attribute must be one of the values of the plexes-supported attribute.
  • This attribute is valid for ASCII documents in a job only if it is not changed between documents in the job.
  • InfoPrint Manager uses plex specifications in this order:
    1. The plex document attribute unless you specify different values for this attribute for each document in a job and also specify a value for the document form-definition attribute. In this case, InfoPrint Manager ignores the plex document attribute.
    2. The plex specification in the document or default document form definition.
    3. The plex actual destination attribute.
    Note: Because all supplied form definitions contain a plex specification, the plex actual destination attribute is used only with custom form definitions that do not contain a plex specification.
