Metadata
In addition to the print job, the plugin creates a metadata file with basic information. The values
originate from the client machine.
In unlicensed mode, the user name, machine name and domain/workgroup name will not be
available through the metadata.
Properties
General tab
l
Data Output
l
Output Folder: Enter the target folder for the incoming print jobs.
l
Output File Name: Enter the file name for the incoming print jobs.
Note
If no extension is defined by the user for the file name, the default “.ps” extension is
added automatically, as the incoming print jobs are PostScript files.
Workflow variables
Variables can and should be used to create dynamic file and folder names for each print
job. This enables separating licensed and unlicensed jobs and/or storing the files by
domain, machine and even user name.
To facilitate using job related information for the creation of the target folder and file
name/s, the Job Processor plugin maps job relevant information to the standard Workflow
variables (%1 to %8). The following mappings apply:
Information Workflow
Variable
When licensed When unlicensed
Job ID %1 Job ID Job ID
License status
for this job
%2 "Licensed" "Unlicensed"
