Header page form definition

Specifies the name of the AFP form definition that the printer uses when it prints the header page for the job. The form definition controls the placement of data on the header page. It also defines other formatting information, such as a bin number for the printer device. For example, with cut-sheet printers, the header page can print on paper that is a different color than the paper color for the job.

If no value for the form definition is specified, RICOH ProcessDirector uses the default value set by the printer driver component, which is F1AIWHDR. Authorized users can specify a different form definition.

Usage notes:

  • The form definition must reside in one of the directories that the AFP resource path printer property specifies or in one of these directories:
    • In Linux:
      • In the /aiw/aiw1/resources directory
      • In the /usr/lpp/psf/reslib directory
    • In Windows:
      • In the c:\aiw\aiw1\resources directory
      • In the \reslib directory in the PSF install path The default install path is c:\Program Files (x86)\InfoPrint\PSF
  • You cannot change the value of this property if there is a job assigned to the printer.
  • RICOH ProcessDirector automatically shuts down and restarts the printer when you change the form definition for header pages.
