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.
