Technical data

The pdprintadmin GUI application provides access to the default
settings of a logical printer. You can create initial-value-job and
initial-value-document objects through the default settings if
the logical printer does not already have initial-value-job and
initial-value-document objects applied to it.
The initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects have
two sets of attributes:
• Attributes that apply to the initial value object; for example:
initial-value-job-identifier
initial-value-document-identifier
associated-server
descriptor
message
object-class
• Attributes that indicate default values for corresponding jobs or
documents; for example for initial-value-job objects:
job-copies
job-sheets
results-profile
• For initial-value-document objects:
copy-count
content-orientation
default-medium
document-format
number-up
sides
Use the pdset command to set attributes for initial-value-job and
initial-value-document objects:
#pdset -c initial-value-job \
-x attribute_name=attribute_value iv_job_name
#pdset -c initial-value-document \
-x attribute_name=attribute_value iv_document_name
6.4.3 Creating Printer Setup Modules
Sometimes a form requires a printer to print text in a specific font size or
printer mode. A printer setup module is a file that the supervisor prepends
to the document stream when printing. The command sequences in the
module select the printing mode or format that you want. Refer to the
