When RICOH ProcessDirector assigns a job to a printer and generates the jobnumber.banner_attributes.txt file, it resolves entries from the configuration file. Depending on settings in the individual banner-page configuration files, such as /aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages/ (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages\ (Windows) header.cfg, it can resolve entries like this:

[Job.Copies.Value]
1
[Job.Copies.NameAndValue]
Job copies requested: 1

[Customer.BarCode.Value]
SO10000007112009
[Customer.BarCode.NameAndValue]
SO: SO Job number: 10000007 Total sheets: 11 2009: 2009

&[Job.Insert.LoadPlan.ID] [LoadPlan.Media.Value]
