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 pri nter f eature s that are not acc essib le 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 th at does not hav e a sta pler. The purpose of this manual is to provi de
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 partic ular feature s of your printe r . Ref er
to this manual for general examples of how to use Document Option Commands.
Document Option Commands6
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 printe r 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)
Unique Keyword
Double Percent Signs
Argument Attribute

%%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
Argument
Attributes
Indicator Keyword
An indicator that a Document Option Statement follows. Indicators are %%.
The command name. Typical examples of indicators and keywords are
%%Title:
%%CreationDate:
%%IncludeFeature:
%%EndComments
Lowercase command that causes action to occur with the print job or printer
function.
Attributes specify settings for the command. For example, the paper size
attribute of the
that is to be used for the print job:
%%IncludeFeature: input (letter)
parameters
%%IncludeFeature: input
command specifies the paper size
Mixed case commands must be typed exactly as shown.
Document Option Commands8
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 withi n < > brac kets are option al variabl es. Do no t inclu de 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
or within < > or { }, must be typed
bold
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 follo wing rul es apply to
DOC prologues:
Every DOC prologue must begin with a si ngle “comment li ne.” (Comment l ines 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 pr ologue is in the cu rrent print job. (If you have subseque nt
lines containing valid Document Option Commands, the commands may be ignored
or cause unpredictable results.)
Document Option Commands 9
All DOC statements are s pecif ied by t wo p ercent si gns (%%) as t he fi rst c harac ters o n
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 ar e case s ensit ive; t ype them exa ctly 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
When a Document Option Command is used more than once in a pr int job, the first

minators. The

Option Commands that you want t o be evaluated and used. For mor e i nfo rmat io n, se e
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 unsuppor ted Documen t Option Commands are ignore d. Unrecogni zed 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.
Document Option Commands10
All lines must end with a carri age re turn c haract er (he x 0D), a l ine fe ed char acter (hex
0A), or a carriage return/lin e 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)

DOC Prologue Terminator
The %%EndComments command terminates the DOC pro logue and signal s 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 terminat ed when a line is encounter ed that does not
begin with %% or %! characters.

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.
