6.1 What Are Separation Pages?
Separation pages are sheets that show where a user’s print job or each file in a
print job begins and ends. Separation pages include:
• Burst pages - printed at the beginning of a print job or file.
• Flag pages - printed at the beginning of a print job or file.
• Trailer pages - printed at the end of a print job or file.
A job flag page looks like a job burst page without the border around the page.
A job trailer page looks like a job flag page with the message ‘‘END OF JOB’’
printed at the top and with additional information listed for the job (for
example, when it finished, which PRINT qualifiers and parameters were used,
and how many pages were printed). File separation pages are differentiated
from each other in an analagous fashion, and from job separation pages by the
presence of file-specific information (for example, the file specification, file size,
and modification time).
You can enable separation pages for print jobs and each file in a print job. The
following sections show you how.
