Usage Guidelines
- PSF actual destinations can use auxiliary-sheet objects if they have valid psf-exit-xxx values. AIX actual destinations print start and end sheets, but they do not use auxiliary-sheet objects.
- For the AIX DSS and the PSF-Other DSS, if the destination-command attribute is set to pioinfo backend, InfoPrint Manager disables the auxiliary pages if it detects a Print and Hold job request.
- InfoPrint verifies that the value of this attribute is a value of the start-sheets-supported attribute.
- For IPP and Passthrough printers, the auxiliary sheets specified with filename can be customized by copying and modifying one of these template files shipped with
InfoPrint Manager for Windows:
- install_path\bin\brief.ps
- Template for "brief" format, Postscript output format
- install_path\bin\full.ps
- Template for "full" format, Postscript output format
- install_path\bin\brief.txt
- Template for "brief" format, PCL/ASCII output format
- install_path\bin\full.txt
- Template for "full" format, PCL/ASCII output format
The template files contain special insert formatting characters that are used to indicate where the Passthrough DSS inserts certain information about the print job:
- %B
- Large banner style job-owner/job-originator/user-name (whichever is found first)
- %t, %T
- job-name heading, job-name contents
- %p, %P
- time printed heading, time printed contents
- %q, %Q
- job-submission-time heading, job-submission-time contents
- %h, %H
- actual-destination and server heading, actual-destination and server contents
- %s, %S
- job-owner/job-originator/user-name heading, job-owner/job-originator/user-name contents
- %d, %D
- results-profile delivery-address, %s heading, results-profile delivery-address, or %S contents
- %c, %C
