To access a particular feature unavailable in HP Output Server attributes, the
set -extended-features
command is used followed by the pdpr command for sending the job.
For example, to access the one-angled staple option that is unavailable in HP Output Server, use the
-extended-features attribute as follows:
pdpr -dlogicalDestination -x"-extended-features'
<Features:QQQStapleOptionxmlns:Features=\"http://www.hp.com/schemas/i
maging/con/dictionaries/1.0/\">ONEANGLED</Features:QQQStapleOption>'"
multiPageDocument
The value of -extended-features is an XML fragment that describes the desired feature and its value from the
destination’s capabilities ticket.
NOTE: If -extended-features is set at a job and it conflicts with-extended-features
set at the destination, you may experience unexpected results.
Using option files
Option files can be used to make delivery with the pdpr command. The use of option files makes the execution of
pdpr command easy and uncomplicated. It helps to set one or more attributes. Option files also help to implement
multiple attributes at once and contain one or more attribute specifications separated by spaces.
Option files are used to implement one or more extended features at a time.
To write an option file, perform the following steps:
1. List the features and options which need to be applied for the print job.
2. Open Notepad.
3. Write the extended feature for each of the feature option combinations as shown below. This example targets two
feature option combinations.
