For example, the template <colorant><dot>hpf produces a file name of the

form

DeviceCMYK.hpf for a device using a CMYK color space.

The tag <colorname> can be used to include the name of the separation in a file

name, for example

Cyan. You can include just the first letter of the separation by

using the tag

<1colorname>, which truncates the separation name to its first

letter. If a composite style is used this is indicated by the string

Composite. If a

monochrome style is used this is indicated by the string

Gray.

You can use this tag to include the form of compression used in the file name.

For example, based on the job details above, the template

<compression><dot>hpf produces the file name TIFF (Packbits).hpf.

<date>

The template <date><dot>hpf produces the file name 20000812.hpf. You

can remove the year information by using the tag

<4date> to produce the file

name

0812.hpf.

<dos>

The use of this tag verifies that the file name is suitable for use in a DOS operat-

ing system. Illegal characters such as a colon, and white space characters cause

an error.

For example, the template

<dos><jobname><dot>hpf, would generate an ille-

gal file name because the job name is greater than the eight characters allowed

in DOS operating systems. Truncation can be forced by using the template

<dos><8jobname><dot>hpf, which produces the file name Uncalibr.hpf.

<dot>

This tag separates the file name stem from the file name extension and enables

the verification of their lengths. It is particularly necessary when creating file

names compatible with DOS and Windows, otherwise the extension may be

considered as part of the file name.

For example, the template

<dos><8jobname>.hpf would cause an error

because the dot is removed as an illegal character and

hpf is then considered

part of the file name stem.
