Use job ticket settings in printer driver

Introduction

You can use the values in the job ticket directly in the corresponding settings in the printer driver. All the printers installed on your machine that support the [UPP mappings] will be available in the section [UPP mappings]. The Unified Print Path (UPP) printers use the same technology as PRISMAprepare to print page programmed documents.

The job ticket items that you can use are defined in the [Product & order editor]. You can use job ticket items of type: [Choice], [Yes/No], [Text] and [Number].

You can use the values of the job ticket in:

  • [All printers]

    The values of the job ticket are used in all printer drivers.

    At least one printer that supports [UPP mappings] must be installed to see items in the [Printer parameters].

  • To specific printers

    The values of the job ticket are used in a specific printer driver. The values of the job ticket are only used when you print to that printer.

    You can use the values of the job ticket differently in different printer drivers.

You can use the job ticket settings for [All printers]. You can use the same job ticket settings for one or more specific printers. The job ticket settings for a specific printer driver overwrite the use of these settings for all printers.

Procedure

  1. Click [Order processing] - [Ticket mappings] - [UPP mappings].
  2. Select if you want to use the job ticket settings in:
    • [All printers]

    • A specific printer

      You must select a printer.

    NOTE

    At least one printer must be installed.

  3. Select a [Job ticket item].

    The possible values for this [Job ticket item] and the [Printer parameters] are displayed.

  4. Select one of the values and select the corresponding printer parameter.
  5. Repeat above steps for each job ticket item that you want to use in the printer driver.

    For example:

    You can use a job ticket item like 'Document type' with value 'Internal report' for multiple printer settings in the printer driver. You can use this job ticket key 'Internal report' for the printer driver settings 'Duplex = On' and 'Staple = Off'. When a user specifies the 'Document' type as 'Internal report', the document will be printed duplex and with a staple.
