To make one document or a group of documents go into a separate file, the print job needs to
be 'separated'. Separation is one of the options to set in an Output Creation Preset.
See "Generating Print output" on page582 for a further explanation about Job Creation Presets
and Output Creation Presets.
Print output variables
In Print output, File name variables can be used to create dynamic output file names, while
Content variables can be used in additional content and in the Conditional field when
selectively adding inserts in the "Inserter Options" on page498.
Note
When using a variable in a condition, do not wrap it in ${ }. This notation is only necessary in the
context of a text (like file names or additional page content).
File name variables
File name variables are available in a few places in the "Print Options" on page483:
l
In the Job Output Mask and Job Output Folder fields when using the Directory option
l
In the Job Name field when using the Windows Printer option.
Tip
You can name the output file or folder through the WorkFlow.
This is done by setting a JobInfo field in the WorkFlow and then referencing it in the "Print
Options" on page483 fields via the variable @automation.JobInfoX@ (where "X" is the
number of the JobInfo field).
If the output is to be separated into multiple files, some Output content variables can also be
used as Output file variables, depending on the level of separation (see "Content variables" on
page592).
