Technical data

JobDefaults1 the printed output includes start sheets for jobs. This might
be the typical case and you might therefore associate JobDefaults1 to
the relevant logical printer:
# pdset -c printer \
-x ’printer-initial-value-job=JobDefault1’ \
[spooler_name:]logical_printer_name
However, you might be aware that there would be times when start
sheets might not be desired, so you create initial-value-job object
JobDefaults2 with the attribute job-sheets=none. Because this might
be a special case, you do not associate JobDefaults2 with the logical
printer. Instead, users can apply JobDefaults2 during job submission:
# pdpr -x ’initial-value-job=JobDefaults2’ file_name
Because JobDefaults2 becomes part of the job submission print request, it
overrides JobDefaults1 associated with the logical printer.
This example focuses only on one attribute (job-sheets). The
initial-value-job objects JobDefaults1 and JobDefaults2 can differ
through more than one attribute.
6.4.2 Creating Default Objects
When you have determined the job and document defaults that you
want for your site, you are ready to create the initial-value-job and
initial-value-document objects.
Use the pdcreate command to create an initial-value-job and
initial-value-document objects. The pdcreate command has the following
format:
pdcreate [-c initial-value-job] spooler_name: iv-job-name
pdcreate [-c initial-value-document][spooler_name: iv-doc-name]
The following examples show how to use the pdcreate command to create
an initial-value-job and aninitial-value-document objects:
# pdcreate -c initial-value-job [spooler_name:]iv_job_name
# pdcreate -c initial-value-document
[spooler_name:]iv_document_name
You must specify a spooler name if the object is not being created for your
default server.
If you already know the job and document attributes that you want to
include for the initial-value-job and initial-value-document
objects, you can include -x ’attribute_name=attribute_value’ with the
pdcreate command.
