‰ Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job,
including the following items.
y The name of the user that submitted the print job
y The job ID number and from which workstation it was submitted
y The title of the job
This title can be specified using the “-t” option. The same title is used for every file within a job. The default title is
controlled by the “lp” command.
y The name of the printer or its IP address
y The date and time when the job was printed according to the print server
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job are requested. The banner
page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is never stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
y Copies = 1
y Stapling off
y Hole punching off
y Orientation = portrait
y Duplex off
y Paper size as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer’s default value
y The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source
and media type.
y Auto paper source selection or the requested banner page source or media type
y Output bin as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer default value
y 6 lines per inch
y Auto-wrap on
y Automatic carriage-return when a line-feed is sent
y The banner page is designed to fit paper bigger than Statement / A5.
The banner page uses the default paper size if paper is set to:
- Statement
- A5
- A6
- B5
- Postcard
y When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
y The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source
and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media
type is not specified then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
y If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally the banner page may print to the
wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
y Hole punching cannot be applied to banner pages.
