Using InfoPrint Manager hot folders An InfoPrint Manager hot folder is a directory that is associated with a logical destination. When you copy or move a file to the hot folder, InfoPrint Manager automatically submits the file to that logical destination. The default job and document finishing attributes that are set for the logical destination are applied to jobs submitted through the hot folder. You can also specify other finishing attributes or use different values for existing attributes. For instructions on using hot folders, see "Submitting jobs through InfoPrint Manager hot folders" on page 332. Using InfoPrint Manager LPD and an LPR client The InfoPrint Manager Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is a utility that lets you submit print jobs from other operating systems using a Line Printer (LPR) client. To submit print jobs with finishing to the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you must use an LPR client, such as lprafp, that lets you use -o options to specify advanced printing options (for example, form definitions and page definitions) when you submit jobs to InfoPrint Manager. You can either specify finishing attributes on the submission command or use a default job. On a Windows server, the InfoPrint Manager LPD is the only LPD that properly processes the -o options that lprafp submits. If you use a different LPD (such as TCP/IP Print Services, the LPD supplied with the Windows operating system), the -o options that you send will be lost. You can download an lprafp sample code package from the Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company Web site at http://www.infoprint.com. The package includes executable forms of the lprafp client for the Windows and AIX (Version 4.3.3 Build Level 9 and later) platforms. You can also compile this code to use it on other platforms. Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company does not provide support for the package. Selecting the correct finishing options In InfoPrint Manager, the finishing options have very descriptive names so that it is easy to select the one you want for your job. However, the names of those options are based on print jobs that use the "portrait" orientation, and as a result are misleading for jobs that printed in the "landscape" orientation. In addition, some of the options are valid if the paper is fed through the printer long edge first (LEF) and not valid if the paper is fed short edge first (SEF), and vice versa. As a result, choosing the correct finishing option can be confusing. These tables can help you determine which option to select for the InfoPrint 45, InfoPrint 60, and InfoPrint 70, based on how you want your job to be finished. Paper fed LEF Table 35.

v
Use the existing form definition JCL keyword to form definition attribute
mapping. The JCL FORMDEF parameter you specify in OS/390 maps to the
InfoPrint Manager
pdpr
form definition attribute.
v
Specify a default form definition or finishing attribute so all jobs have the same
finishing option.
Using InfoPrint Manager hot folders
An InfoPrint Manager hot folder is a directory that is associated with a logical
destination. When you copy or move a file to the hot folder, InfoPrint Manager
automatically submits the file to that logical destination. The default job and
document finishing attributes that are set for the logical destination are applied to
jobs submitted through the hot folder. You can also specify other finishing
attributes or use different values for existing attributes. For instructions on using
hot folders, see “Submitting jobs through InfoPrint Manager hot folders” on page
332.
Using InfoPrint Manager LPD and an LPR client
The InfoPrint Manager Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is a utility that lets you submit
print jobs from other operating systems using a Line Printer (LPR) client. To
submit print jobs with finishing to the InfoPrint Manager LPD, you must use an
LPR client, such as
lprafp
, that lets you use –o options to specify advanced
printing options (for example, form definitions and page definitions) when you
submit jobs to InfoPrint Manager. You can either specify finishing attributes on the
submission command or use a default job.
On a Windows server, the InfoPrint Manager LPD is the only LPD that properly
processes the –o options that
lprafp
submits. If you use a different LPD (such as
TCP/IP Print Services, the LPD supplied with the Windows operating system), the
–o options that you send will be lost. You can download an
lprafp
sample code
package from the Ricoh Production Print Solutions Company Web site at
http://www.infoprint.com. The package includes executable forms of the
lprafp
client for the Windows and AIX (Version 4.3.3 Build Level 9 and later) platforms.
You can also compile this code to use it on other platforms. Ricoh Production Print
Solutions Company does not provide support for the package.
Selecting the correct finishing options
In InfoPrint Manager, the finishing options have very descriptive names so that it
is easy to select the one you want for your job. However, the names of those
options are based on print jobs that use the "portrait" orientation, and as a result
are misleading for jobs that printed in the "landscape" orientation. In addition,
some of the options are valid if the paper is fed through the printer long edge first
(LEF) and not valid if the paper is fed short edge first (SEF), and vice versa. As a
result, choosing the correct finishing option can be confusing. These tables can help
you determine which option to select for the InfoPrint 45, InfoPrint 60, and
InfoPrint 70, based on how you want your job to be finished.
