Print Job Setup

The Print Job Setup page is used to configure the print jobs for a particular print server. A print job tells the underlying forms printing software being used what to do when handling the forms printing request. This table is keyed by an application resource ID and a print job code.

For print jobs used to print documents, only the print jobs permitted to print for a given document based on the document phase are displayed in the Print Job drop-down selection.

You can associate parameter(s) with a print job by specifying the Parameter Name and Parameter Value. Below are some parameters you can add to a print job where supported.  

Parameter Name

Description

ADD_BAN_DATA_FOR_PRNT_RSRC_TYP

Option is available to use if the output contains the Header and you want to add a banner data page. Note that the form’s design needs to support a banner in order to produce it in the output. If you wish to add a banner data page but the form’s design does not support it, you will need to update the form’s design accordingly to make use of this option.

Valid values are 1 (printer), 2 (email), 3 (pdf), and 4 (fax). Multiple values can be specified separated by a comma. For example, you can set the value to 1,3 to apply to the printer and pdf print resources.

ADD_DEPT_TO_FL_NM

Option to incorporate the Department Code in the file name when the print job is sent to a printer resource type. The Department Code from the first output record will be used.

Set it to true to enable this option.

This option can be used alone or together with OVERRIDE_PRNT_FL_NM. When used together, the override print file name goes first, followed by the department code, followed by a unique number with an underscore (_) between the 3 parts making up the file name.

OVERRIDE_PRNT_FL_NM

Option to configure the file name when the print job is sent to a printer resource type. If you add this parameter but the value is blank, then the system ignores the parameter.

The format is plain text and/or a pattern of {<TABLE>__<COLUMN>} to refer to the value of a table field, where TABLE can be R_PRNT_JOB or R_PRNT_RSRC. 

Plain text and patterns can be combined. If the pattern cannot be resolved, or the TABLE is not R_PRNT_JOB or R_PRNT_RSRC, the <TABLE>__<COLUMN> is used as-is in the file name. Since this is used for naming files, do not use special characters that will cause problems with file names in general, such as slashes, quotes, or certain special symbols.

Example:

Invoice{R_PRNT_JOB__PRNT_JOB_CD}{R_PRNT_RSRC__PRNT_RSRC_ID} 

The system will resolve the pattern and then form the file name as something that might look like this:

InvoiceGEN_INV_REG_FORMPrinter_<unique number>

This option can be used alone or together with OVERRIDE_PRNT_FL_NM. When used together, the override print file name goes first, followed by the department code, followed by a unique number with an underscore (_) between the 3 parts making up the file name.
