Commands

Introduction

MINOLTA-QMS printers offer a wide range of features for designing and printing documents. Applications and printer emulations (such as PostScript, HP-GL, HP PCL) differ in their ability to access some of the printer’s features. The Document Option Commands (DOC) provide a way to access printer features that are not accessible by your application or the printer emulation.

Document Option Commands provide a quick and convenient way to access printer features. By using Document Option Commands instead of individual printer language commands, one driver can support all languages or emulations used by the printer.

If you are a system administrator, use your host network software to create customized queues for all users connected to the printer. Use Document Option Commands to generate personalized header pages or to activate special printer features for each user.

Characteristics of DOCs

Job related

Document Option Commands are relevant to the formatting of documents.

Human readable

No special programming skills are necessary to use Document Option Commands.

Emulation transparent

Document Option Commands are recognized, interpreted, and stripped from the data stream before the print job is interpreted by the emulation.

Printer Compatibility

Printer features vary on each printer. For example, some of our printers may have a built-in stapler. Document Option Commands designed to access stapler features would not work on a printer that does not have a stapler. The purpose of this manual is to provide an overall context for Document Option Commands used with any printer. Refer to your printer documentation for a list of Document Option Commands supported and new Document Option Commands designed to use the particular features of your printer. Refer to this manual for general examples of how to use Document Option Commands.

Document Option Commands

Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP)

Using a form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology analyzes incoming file data from any of the printer’s interfaces. ESP technology selects the appropriate printer language from those installed on the printer and processes the print job, freeing the user from the need to change printer switch settings or send software commands to accommodate different printer emulations.

Using DOCs

When using Document Option Commands, the print job consists of a DOC prologue attached to the emulation page descriptions. The prologue consists of text statements that provide information for the header and trailer pages, and Document Option Commands that specify how the job is to be processed and printed.

Examples

All DOC prologues begin with %! symbols on the first line. Each DOC statement begins with two percent signs (%%) as the first characters on a line. Next, a unique keyword follows with any optional arguments to the next line. Each line is limited to 255 characters. Spaces in the DOC statement are allowed only between keywords and arguments.

DOC Statement Example

%%IncludeFeature: duplex(on)

DOC Prologue Example

%!

%%Title: A Sample Document for the printer %%For: Corporate Communications

%%Date: 08/21/00 12:30:00 %%IncludeFeature: duplex(on) %%End Comments

Actual text of print job...

Note that alphabetic case is important for keywords. Use the following rules for all keywords.

All keywords are lowercase except for the first letter of each “word.” For example:

%%Title; %%IncludeFeature.

All arguments are lowercase except where specified.

DOC Statement Syntax

Document Option Commands have the following syntax:

Syntax

Indicator Keyword parameters

 

 

Indicator

An indicator that a Document Option Statement follows. Indicators are %%.

 

 

Keyword

The command name. Typical examples of indicators and keywords are

 

%%Title:

 

%%CreationDate:

 

%%IncludeFeature:

 

%%EndComments

 

 

Argument

Lowercase command that causes action to occur with the print job or printer

 

function.

 

 

Attributes

Attributes specify settings for the command. For example, the paper size

 

attribute of the %%IncludeFeature: input command specifies the paper size

 

that is to be used for the print job:

 

%%IncludeFeature: input (letter)

 

 

Mixed case commands must be typed exactly as shown.

8

Document Option Commands

Syntax Conventions

(...)

Parentheses are explicit separators that must be entered as shown in the com-

 

mand syntax. One space (hex 20) is recommended for separation before and

 

after the parentheses.

 

 

< ...>

Attributes or values within < > brackets are optional variables. Do not include the

 

brackets.

 

 

[...]

Items within square brackets are optional variables.

 

 

{...}

Parameters or values within curly braces may be repeated one or more times.

 

Do not include the braces.

 

 

::==

logical equate symbol

 

 

|

logical OR function

 

 

Spacing

Spacing may be used to separate multiple commands and/or arguments on a

 

single line.

 

 

Example

%%IncludeFeature: orientation (<rotation>)

<rotation> ::== Portrait | Landscape | portrait | landscape

Unless noted, all parameters not shown in bold or within < > or { }, must be typed exactly as shown in the syntax.

Mixed case commands must be typed exactly as shown.

About the DOC Prologue

The DOC prologue is attached to the beginning of a print job either by the person who is sending the job to the printer, or by a host system print queue. The following rules apply to DOC prologues:

Every DOC prologue must begin with a single “comment line.” (Comment lines begin with %! and include all subsequent characters up to the first newline character encountered.) If a comment line is not on line 1 of the prologue, the printer (or host software) assumes that no prologue is in the current print job. (If you have subsequent lines containing valid Document Option Commands, the commands may be ignored or cause unpredictable results.)

Document Option Commands

9

All DOC statements are specified by two percent signs (%%) as the first characters on a line. The statements consist of a unique keyword and any optional arguments up to the next newline (linefeed). Use space characters only for the separation of keywords and arguments. Do not use a space to separate the %% characters from the keywords or at the beginning of a line. Keywords are case sensitive; type them exactly as shown in this manual.

All Document Option Commands for a print job must appear in the prologue at the beginning of the job and must follow one another. The prologue terminates when the system recognizes a line that does not begin with %% or when it encounters the

%%EndComments command.

When a Document Option Command is used more than once in a print job, the first instance takes precedence. When multiple files, each beginning with their own Document Option Commands, are concatenated together as a single print job, only the commands listed first take effect unless a newlayout command is also included in the print job. Note that a newlayout command can be used at the beginning of a subjob. Subjobs can be delimited by the %%Session command or by emulation specific job terminators. The newlayout command must be included with each set of Document Option Commands that you want to be evaluated and used. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” .

When different Document Option Commands set conflicting attributes for print jobs, the first command takes precedence.

You may place comment lines (%!) anywhere in the prologue. The printer ignores all comment lines.

Printing attributes that are not specified by Document Option Commands are determined by printer default settings.

Unrecognized or unsupported Document Option Commands are ignored. Unrecognized or invalid arguments to Document Option Commands are also ignored.

DOC Statement Line Constraints

The statement lines have constraints concerning line length and line endings:

Statements (on a single line) must be less than or equal to 255 characters in length, excluding line termination characters.

10

Document Option Commands

All lines must end with a carriage return character (hex 0D), a line feed character (hex 0A), or a carriage return/line feed combination (hex 0D, hex 0A).

Continuation Lines

In some cases, you may want to use a DOC statement containing more than 255 characters. Continuation lines can be added by beginning each additional line with %%+. For example, continuation lines might be used in the following manner:

%!

%%Title: A Sample Document for the printer %%For: Corporate Department

%%Date: 12/25/00 12:35:00 %%IncludeFeature: duplex (on) collate (on) %%+numcopies (10)

%%+inputbin (1)outputbin (2)input (letter) %%EndComments

Actual text of print job...

Accessing Printer Features

The %%IncludeFeature keyword includes arguments for selecting printer features.

%%IncludeFeature: argument (attributes) [argument (attributes)...]

argument

In this case, one of the Document Option Commands that select printer features.

 

Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” tells you how to use Document Option

 

Commands to access printer features.

 

 

attributes

The variables for the specified command. Attributes include on, off, and alphanu-

 

meric names and values. The value must be enclosed in ( ).

 

 

More than one argument may be included in a %%IncludeFeature: DOC statement, but the statement must not exceed 255 characters per line. Use continuation lines that begin with %%+ if your %%IncludeFeature statement exceeds the 255 characters-per-line limit. For more information on accessing printer features through the %%IncludeFeature: DOC statement, see Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” on page 35.

Document Option Commands

11

%%IncludeFeature Command Example

This example specifies orientation, margins, input bin, output bin, copies, duplexing, and collation:

%%IncludeFeature: orientation (portrait) %%+margins (3600 7200 3600 3600) inputbin (Letter) %%+outputbin (1) numcopies (5) duplex (on) %%+collate (on)

DOC Prologue Terminator

The %%EndComments command terminates the DOC prologue and signals the beginning of the print job's data. All data after the %%EndComments command is handled by the selected emulation. The command syntax is

%%EndComments

This command should be used only to prevent further processing of Document Option Commands. The DOC prologue is also terminated when a line is encountered that does not begin with %% or %! characters.

12

Document Option Commands

Sample DOC Prologue

The prologue shown below uses all the header and trailer page Document Option Commands described in chapter 2 as well as the %%IncludeFeature command described earlier in this chapter. The figure on the next page shows the header page that results from this prologue. (The printer and product names shown on header and trailer pages vary depending on the product.)

Header and Trailer Pages

 

 

 

Introduction

Header and trailer pages are separator pages that identify each print job and help users sort out print jobs in the printers output bin. A “header” page prints before the first page of a print job. A “trailer” page prints after the last page of a print job. Use the Document Option Commands in this chapter to turn header/trailer pages on or off and to customize the information displayed on them.
