InfoPrint command notation
Command syntax notation uses symbols to show specific conditions. Do not enter the following symbols, unless specifically instructed to do so, when actually issuing an InfoPrint command:
- Bar
- |
- Braces
- {}
Note: There are some situations in which you will actually type the brace characters.
- Brackets
- [ ]
- Underlining
- _
- Ellipsis
- ...
These symbols have the following meanings when used in the publications and in the online information:
- A vertical bar, |, between values means that you can only enter one of the values
with the command. For example:
job-hold:= {true | false}
means that when you set the job-hold attribute, you can specify either true or false, but not both.
- Braces, { }, around values identify required items that you must supply with the command.
For example:
job-hold:= {true | false}
means that you must enter either true or false.
- Brackets, [ ], around values indicate that they are optional. For example:
resource-context=directory[:directory...]
means that you do not have to enter more than one directory, but that you can have two or more directories, each separated by a colon, : .
- An ellipsis, ... , means that you can supply more than one occurrence of a keyword
or value with the command. For example:
resource-context=directory[:directory...]
means that you can enter more than directory name.
- Underlined text identifies the default fixed value that Infoprint uses if you do not
specify a value. For example:
default-printer-resolution={240 | 300 | 480 | 600}
means that 240 is the default value.
