Conﬁguring Logical Printers for Defaulting and Restriction

Using an Initial Value Object for Job and Document

Defaulting

This section describes how to create a logical printer and an

initial-value-document object associated with the logical printer. The

initial-value-document object provides default values for documents of

jobs submitted to the logical printer. The example uses the desktop

conﬁguration model, as described in Chapter 3.

Figure 6-5, “Using Initial Value Objects for Job and Document

Defaulting,” shows some of the attributes and values of a logical printer,

LogPrt1, and a physical printer, PhyPrt1. The logical printer has no

values assigned to its attributes; the

printer-initial-value-document attribute assigns default values to

the document attributes for jobs submitted to the logical printer.

To create the logical printer and initial-value-document, perform the

following steps:

1. To create the logical printer LogPrt1, enter:

pdcreate -x "printer-initial-value-document=IVD1 \

associated-queue=Queue1" Spool1:LogPrt1

2. To create the initial-value-document object IVD1, enter:

pdcreate -c initial-value-document \

-x "content-orientation=landscape \

sides=1" Spool1:IVD1
