Separator page configuration file

Specifies the path to and the name of the configuration file that RICOH ProcessDirector uses to create the content and format of the separator page that prints between copies of a multi-copy AFP job. Authorized users can specify one of the configuration files for separator pages that RICOH ProcessDirector provides, or they can specify a customized configuration file.

You can also select a step resource object as the value for the property instead of providing a path and filename. Using a step resource lets you change the specific file without editing all of the workflows that contain the step that uses the file.

In Linux, RICOH ProcessDirector provides these configuration files in the /aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages directory.

In Windows, RICOH ProcessDirector provides these configuration files in the c:\aiw\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages directory.

Usage notes:

  • This property is not supported for PDF banner pages.
  • If the Enable separator pages property for the job has a value of Yes, RICOH ProcessDirector verifies that the Separator page configuration file property has a value, and that the configuration file exists. If RICOH ProcessDirector does not find the configuration file, it moves the job to an error state.
  • If the Banner page type printer property has a value, RICOH ProcessDirector looks for a corresponding configuration file. If it finds a corresponding configuration file and it is different than the configuration file that the job specifies, RICOH ProcessDirector uses the configuration file that the Banner page type printer property specifies. For example, if the Separator page configuration file job property has a value of separator.cfg, and the printer property has a value of Narrow, RICOH ProcessDirector looks for a configuration file in the directory specified by the job with a name of separator.narrow.cfg . If that file exists, RICOH ProcessDirector uses that file instead of the separator.cfg file.
