1.6.2.1 Post processing substitution codes
When using the post processing feature of the HP plugin, the RIP recognizes the sub-
stitution codes in the following list. You can insert an integer between the percent
character and the letter code, to restrict the maximum number of characters used in the
result string. For example,
%6j represents the first six characters of the job name.
