Using a form definition, Using InfoPrint Submit Express, Using InfoPrint Select

Page 330 highlights

Using a form definition If you submit your print jobs using a form definition (either by specifying a certain one or by using a default form definition), you can identify the finishing options that you want to apply in the form definition. When you specify printing and finishing options this way, no InfoPrint finishing attributes are necessary to request the finishing options. The print job is sent to the printer and the options are read out of the formdef. If the finisher supports the options chosen, the job should print correctly without any more configuration on your part. Note: InfoPrint Manager does not check the finishing options you specify in the formdef against the options you set in "Telling InfoPrint Manager what options the finisher supports" on page 318. As a result, if the finisher does not support the options, the job will fail. Using InfoPrint Submit Express When you submit a job using InfoPrint Submit Express, you can select a variety of options, including finishing. Build your job ticket as you usually would, and specify the finishing options that you want to use in the Finishing field on the appropriate tab. Using InfoPrint Select The enhanced InfoPrint Select client lets you specify job-finishing attribute values or a form definition when submitting a job to the server. For more information about using the job-finishing attribute, see the InfoPrint Manager: Reference. For instructions on setting attribute values in Select, see the help system. Using the InfoPrint AFP driver: If you are interested in using the powerful features of AFP in a wide range of environments, you might want to install and use the InfoPrint AFP driver with InfoPrint Select. To install and set up the InfoPrint AFP driver, see "Setting up the AFP driver" in InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started. To specify the AFP driver for your printer, follow the directions in "Creating InfoPrint Select printers" in the InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started, and specify one of these drivers depending on your printer model: 1. For the InfoPrint 45 printer, specify the InfoPrint AFP 4345 driver. 2. For the InfoPrint 60 printer, specify the InfoPrint AFP 3160 driver. 3. For the InfoPrint 2000 printer, specify the InfoPrint AFP 2710 driver. Once installed, click Printing Preferences on Windows 2000 systems from the Print window, and then use the AFP driver to specify inline form definitions with finishing options, or make use of other AFP features. PSF printer: To use InfoPrint Select to submit print jobs with finishing options to a PSF printer, you must create a Select printer that uses the specific printer driver for your printer shown here. The driver is installed on your system when you install InfoPrint Select. Use the procedure that is described in the InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started for creating a Select printer, modifying it as described here. 1. Follow the procedure through creating a port and selecting an InfoPrint destination. 2.

Using a form definition
If you submit your print jobs using a form definition (either by specifying a certain
one or by using a default form definition), you can identify the finishing options
that you want to apply in the form definition. When you specify printing and
finishing options this way, no InfoPrint finishing attributes are necessary to request
the finishing options. The print job is sent to the printer and the options are read
out of the formdef. If the finisher supports the options chosen, the job should print
correctly without any more configuration on your part.
Note:
InfoPrint Manager does not check the finishing options you specify in the
formdef against the options you set in “Telling InfoPrint Manager what options the
finisher supports” on page 318. As a result, if the finisher does not support the
options, the job will fail.
