Command Syntax

Table 3-6 Frequently Used Object-Attributes

The following rules apply for object-attributes:

• An attribute value pair for an object-attribute, like for a command-

attribute, consists of an attribute followed by a value. The attribute

name describes the attribute, and its value speciﬁes a value to be

assigned to the attribute. For example, the attribute used to specify a

banner page in a print job is job-sheets and one of its possible

values is job-set-start. This attribute and its value are speciﬁed

in a text string with a -x ﬂag as shown here:

-x "job-sheets=job-set-start"

• Object-attributes can be either single-valued (that is, they can have

only one value at a time) or multi-valued. Multiple values must be

separated by a space. For example:

-x "orientations-supported=portrait landscape"
