Set Printing properties component
The set printing properties workflow component is relevant, if you are going to print out on a PCL compatible printer. So if want to use the features below, then you need to ensure, that this is set prior to the merge into PCL.
You can also consider the design element, Print settings if you want to change either values in the middle of a print out.
You can also consider to add extra PCL commands either fixed on the printer where you can set it on the advanced PCL settings, in the workflow with the component, Extra PCL commands or set paper type or by setting the PCL commands as the value for the predefined variable, interform.destination.printer.pcl.pcl.
The possible printing properties are:
Paper type
By setting a paper type you can indirectly decide which paper drawer/tray that the printer will use. You can here select the paper type, that is be included in output PCL print data stream. You then need to setup the trays on the physical printer(s) either via the web interface or the printer menu to make sure, that the right tray/drawer is selected.
This sets the simplex/Duplex option for the print out. As default the print out is simplex i.e. only printing on the front of each page.
