Chapter 32. Setting up finishing options for specific printers Setting up finishing options for IPDS-only printers Depending on the printer model, you can set up several finishing options. InfoPrint Manager can be set up to support many of these possibilities, including edge stitching (stapling one edge of the print job to create a booklet), saddle stitch (stapling in the middle of the page to create a folded booklet), and corner stapling. These sections describe how to set up finishing options for IPDS printers, including the InfoPrint 45, InfoPrint 60, and InfoPrint 2000. Telling InfoPrint Manager what options the finisher supports The first step in enabling the finishing options is to let InfoPrint Manager know what options the finisher supports. To set the appropriate values: Note: If you will only be submitting print jobs that specify a form definition to this printer, you do not have to complete this procedure. You can proceed to "Setting up InfoPrint Manager and clients to use finishing options" on page 319. 1. Start the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI. 2. Find or create the PSF printer (actual destination) that sends jobs to the printer you are setting up. 3. Right-click the printer and select Properties from the pop-up menu. 4. In the Printer Properties notebook, click Job. 5. Find the Finishing options allowed field. Note: If you do not see the Finishing options allowed field, click Show More. 6. Select all of the finishing options that your finisher supports in the Possible values list and add them to the Values list. 7. Click OK. Setting up InfoPrint Manager and clients to use finishing options How you set up to use finishing options varies depending upon what kind of print jobs you create and how you submit them. There are several categories; find the one that most resembles your situation. Using the pdpr command When you submit print jobs from the command line with the pdpr command, you can use the job-finishing attribute on the -x flag to specify finishing options. For example: pdpr -d printername -x"job-finishing=staple-top-left" printfilename You can also use the form-definition attribute on the -x flag to specify finishing options. For example: pdpr -d printername -x"form-definition=F1name" printfilename For a list of allowed values, proper syntax, and usage guidelines for the job-finishing and form-definition attributes, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. 311
