Table Of Contents
Additional Rules (and Triggers) can be added (or deleted) and all Rules can be edited, and/or
moved up or down within the table after being added.
Within a group of Rules, the Rules are processed sequentially, from top to bottom. Thus if two
Rules apply to the same option (such as two different Rules applying for Tray 1), then the
topmost Rule will be applied, once the Rule trigger is encountered. Thus it makes sense to
have the most specific rules at the top of a group, with the more generic rules placed below
them.
Note
Rules should have at least one Printer Option assigned to them. If they do not, then the
page is considered incomplete and a warning symbol will be displayed and the offending
Rules highlighted. As seen in the following screen-shot:
If a Media/Trays Rule has an associated Printer Option that matches a Media entry in
the Template or Presets, then it is highlighted in light green.
It is possible to create a set of Rules in which none of the Rules ever evaluate to true, and thus
no Rule will be applied. This could be done on purpose, to allow the printer's default settings to
apply.
The types of Rules are as follows:
l
JCL (Job Control Language) Rules: This option only appears if the PPD contains a
"*JCL keywords" section.
Certain printers require Printer Job Language (a type of JCL) commands to function
properly, or to allow certain features.
If such entries are included in the PPD, then rules can be added to use them via the Add
button.
