The use of the printer document function is not suitable for every environment. This function is designed for an environment in which all devices have and require exactly the same printer configurations. Otherwise, there may be considerable difficulties in setting up and troubleshooting. It is therefore recommended that you only consider this printer configuration if all devices access exactly the same printer devices and if specific print tray configurations are required.

This document function defines in a template which paper should be used for which page when printing the document. The user can also select different options in the document, e.g. "Logo on/off", Draft on/off" or whether it is a multiple letter or not.

With the help of the configuration the settings can be read and applied from the printer dialog.

Configuration

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Configuration>
  <Logo>FromDocument</Logo>
  <Draft>FromDocument</Draft>
  <VectorSignature>FromDocument</VectorSignature>
  <Fax>FromDocument</Fax>
  <Campaign>FromDocument</Campaign>
  <Color>FromDocument</Color>
  <!-- Each area in the document corresponds to the respective area in this configuration. "Id" is a designation/label and can be translated as follows -->
  <Section Id="Dokument">
    <PaperFirstPage>Normal</PaperFirstPage>
    <Paper>Normal</Paper>
  </Section>
</Configuration>

Possible values in the elements (from Logo to Color) are FromDocument or On:

FromDocument → Settings are inherited from the document.
On → option is enabled and thus overrides the setting in the document when printing.

Possible default values for elements PaperFirstPage (first page) and Paper (subsequent pages):

Logo → This page should use logo paper.
Normal → This page should use normal paper.

The actual values are defined as Paper Types in the Global printer configuration.

Example

The first page should use logo paper, the following pages normal paper:

    <PaperFirstPage>Logo</PaperFirstPage>
    <Paper>Normal</Paper>
