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:
The possible printing properties are:
- Paper type
By setting a paper type, you can indirectly decide which paper drawer/tray the printer will use. You then need to configure the trays on the physical printer via the printer menu or web interface. - Print style
This sets the simplex/duplex option for the printout. By default, the printout is simplex, meaning printing only on the front of each page - Paper drawer
Instead of selecting the drawer indirectly via the paper type above, you can also select the printer drawer/tray directly via Paper drawer. The value is the PCL drawer number, not the physical tray number shown on the printer. You might need to test which PCL drawer number matches the tray you want to use on a specific printer. The drawer number must be in the range 0 to 255.
