Try to use a file name extension that does not clash with any established convention.
The extension
hpf is a suggestion only and is formed from the initial letters of HP
Printer File
.
Note: This file naming scheme does not provide useful file names derived from job
names that contain double-byte characters.
1.6.1.1 Content generating tags
The following tags are available and can be used in any order:
Tag Description
<colorant>
The color space of the device, such as DeviceCMYK or Device-
RGB
.
<colorname>
The name of the separation, such as Cyan.
<compression>
The form of compression used, such as TIFF (Packbits).
<date>
The date when the job is processed, in the format YYYYMMDD, unless a
truncated form is specified.
<dot>
Separates the stem of the file name from the file extension, and
appears as a period character (
. ) in the file name. For example
stem<dot>ext
appears as stem.ext. The use of the <dot> tag
enables the verification of the stem and extension lengths.
<exposure>
The exposure setting, a device specific integer.
<job#>
The job number allocated by the RIP. Automatic numbering means
that successive jobs have incremented job numbers: 000, 001, 002,
003, and so on.
<jobname>
The page buffer name without the page number prefix and without
characters illegal to the operating system. White space characters are
used, if present in the job name.
<jobname1>
The page buffer name without the page number prefix, and using only
alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). White space characters are
not used.
