Configuring finishing options

The Finishing Options settings allow you to configure what finishing options are supported, and set additional limits or default behavior.

📘 Instructions

Finishing Options settings:

Include a Cover Page with print jobs

When checked, a cover page is added to each print job, identifying the sender and the time the job was submitted.

Use Document Conversion

When checked, the PrinterOn Server attempts to convert the document into an electronic presentation format such as XPS, rather than render it for printing. Any web links in the original document are preserved and functional in the converted file.

Currently, PrinterOn only converts Microsoft Office formats (.pptx,

.docx, and .xlsx). The only output format supported is XPS.

Notes:

To support document conversion, Microsoft Office must be installed on the same machine as the PrinterOn Server.
To convert documents, you must specify the XPS Driver in the Specifying printer driver information.

Print Embedded Documents

When checked, the PrinterOn Server will attempt to extract and print any documents that are embedded in the original document.

Notes:

Currently, the PrinterOn Server only supports printing of documents that are embedded in PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) documents.
Only documents embedded in the master document are printed. If an embedded document itself contains embedded documents, those documents are ignored.

Late Binding Options

When checked, users can modify change finishing options for the print job at the printer before printing the document.

Note: For this option only impacts those printers with the PrinterOn Agent for HP installed.

Color Printing

Defines whether color printing is supported. This setting allows users searching for printers to limit their search to those printers that support color.

If you have a color printer but wish to discourage users from printing in color, select Does not support color printing.

BW/Color Default

Defines the default color option that is displayed to the user, when Color Printing is set to Supports color printing. If Color Printing is set to Does not support color printing, then this setting does not appear.

You can choose from the following options:

Black & White Only: The printer only prints in black and white.

Color Only: The printer only prints in color.

Black & White Default: The user can choose between black and white or color printing, with Black and white selected by default.

Color Default: The user can choose between black and white or color printing, with Color selected by default.

Copy Management

Specifies how print copies are managed when the user has chosen to print multiple copies of a document.

You can choose from the following options:

Application-based: The source application for the document determines how to manage print copies. Typically with application-based copy management, the document print data is simply sent to the printer once for each copy specified. Because multiple copies of the document data are sent to the printer, this option can result in large print data streams.

This is the default setting.

PJL-based: Some printers and MFPs support managing print copies through PJL headers instead of in the print data stream itself. If the printer connected to the queue supports PJL-based copy management, choosing this option can reduce print data size when multiple copies are printed.

Driver-based: The printer driver determines how to manage print copies based on the capabilities of the printer. If the driver can determine that the printer supports PJL headers and that it has a hard disk, it will use the PJL header to specify the number of copies to print. Otherwise, the document print data is sent to the printer the specified number of times.

Duplexing Type

Defines the duplexing configuration.

If you prefer to let the printer control duplexing, select Not Managed.

Maximum Page Count

The maximum number of pages a print job may use. Print requests exceeding this limit will be accepted. The maximum page count includes the cover page.

Maximum Printed Size

The maximum data size of a print job. Print requests exceeding this limit will be accepted.

N-Up Supported

Defines whether multi-page layouts, in which multiple pages are printed on a single sheet of paper, are supported.

PJL Encoding(Advanced view only)

Specifies the Printer Job Language encoding. If your printer needs to support double-byte characters, set this to UTF-8 and check the Override Encoding Specification.
