An information bar contains printer and job information. It can be selected as a job property. The bar is printed in the trim area of a page. Two-sided printed sheets get the bar at both sides and simplex sheets at the print side.

There is one factory defined information bar: FOGRA Validation Print. You can add more custom information bars.
