What is an information bar

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.

Information bars can help to evaluate the print quality according to the displayed information.
