You can change the banner-page control file for an individual AFP job after it is
in the system.
Examples of entries in the banner-page control files are:
Field301 Class;JobTicketField;[Job.Class.NameAndValue];X0CR5M;XZE26F;5.390625;3.34375;0
Field302 Form;JobTicketField;[Job.Form];X0CR5M;XZE26F;5.390625;3.640625;0
Field303 Destination;JobTicketField;[Job.Destination];X0PCLR12;;5.390625;3.9375;0
Field304 Customer;JobTicketField;[Job.CustomerName.Value];X0PCLR12;;5.390625;4.234375;0
Field305 Duplex;JobTicketField;[Job.Duplex.NameAndValue];X0CR5M;XZE26F;5.390625;4.546875;0
Field306 PlannedTime;JobTicketField;[Job.SLA.PlannedTime.Complete.Default.NameAndValue];X0PCLR12;;1.000;5.75;0
This table describes the fields of the lines in a banner-page control file, except
for the fields used only for printing barcodes. All fields of the line that follow
the file identifier are separated by semicolons (;).
Banner field names and descriptions
| Field name |
Description |
| FieldX |
Each line must begin with FieldX, where X is a unique number from 1 through 1000. Use a trailing space to separate FieldX from the next field on the line. |
| FieldName |
A user-selected name that identifies the line. It must be unique within the control
file. It can be up to 32 characters. |
| FieldType |
Field type values are:
- JobTicketField
- RICOH ProcessDirector prints the value, or the resolved name and value that the next field specifies on
the banner page. For this field type, the next field is a modified database property
name.
- ExitData
- RICOH ProcessDirector prints the resolved value that the next field specifies. For this field type, the
next field is an exit key for the printer driver component that RICOH ProcessDirector uses.
- Literal
- RICOH ProcessDirector prints the literal text that the next field specifies on the banner page.
|
| [TicketKey] |
Ticket key values are:
- [DataBasePropertyName.Value]
- RICOH ProcessDirector prints only the value of the specified property on the banner page. Delimit the property-name
string with brackets ([]). For example, if the value of this field is [Job.Copies.Value], and only a single copy of the job was requested, RICOH ProcessDirector prints 1 on the banner page. The preceding FieldType value must be JobTicketField. The database property name that you specify must be in
/aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages/banner_page_property_values.cfg (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages\banner_page_property_values.cfg (Windows)
- [DataBasePropertyName.NameAndValue]
- RICOH ProcessDirector prints the name of the property that displays in the properties notebook, followed
by the value for the property. Delimit the property-name string with brackets ([]).
For example, if the value of this field is [Job.Copies.NameAndValue], and only a single copy of the job was requested, RICOH ProcessDirector prints Job copies requested: 1 on the banner page. The preceding FieldType value must be JobTicketField. The database property name that you specify must be in
/aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages/banner_page_property_values.cfg (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages\banner_page_property_values.cfg (Windows).
- Text String
- A user-defined text string that can include spaces. The preceding FieldType value must be Literal. The coded fonts that the line specifies control the length of the text string; the
maximum length is the number of characters that can fit in the printable area, lengthwise
on the page. The larger the point size of the coded font, the fewer characters the
text string can contain.
- PSFExitKey
- A keyword for the printer driver component that RICOH ProcessDirector uses. The preceding FieldType value must be ExitData. Valid values are:
- Copy
- The printer driver returns the copy number for the printed pages that follow. Use
this only in control files for separator banner pages.
- ExtDate
- The printer driver returns the date on which it started to send the job to the printer
hardware.
- Time
- The printer driver returns the time at which it started to send the job to the printer
hardware.
- ExtendedSpoolID
- The printer driver returns the spool ID number by which it recognizes the job. This
value is the same as the value of the RICOH ProcessDirectorJob.Print.SpoolID job property.
|
| CodedFontForSingleByteChars |
The name of a single-byte coded font. The value is alphanumeric. It can be up to 8
characters. |
| CodedFontForDoubleByteChars |
The name of a double-byte character set (DBCS) coded font. The value is alphanumeric.
It can be up to 8 characters. You need to specify this field only if you will actually
print DBCS characters on the banner page. You can omit this field, as necessary. However,
you still need to include its semicolon delimiter for the position. |
| InchesFromLeft |
A numeric value that specifies the distance, in inches, from the left edge of the
banner page at which RICOH ProcessDirector starts to print the information that this line defines. The value can include decimal
places. |
| InchesFromTop |
A numeric value that specifies the distance, in inches, from the top edge of the banner
page at which RICOH ProcessDirector starts to print the information. The value can include decimal places. |
| Rotation |
A numeric value that specifies the amount of rotation, in the clockwise direction,
that RICOH ProcessDirector rotates the printed information. Valid values are 0, 90, 180, and 270. |
