Sessions
What is a Session?
A session is used to encapsulate a file. Sessions can be formed by different means: in
EtherTalk/LocalTalk sessions are built-in the communications protocol; in parallel, serial,
or network communications protocols sessions are formed by separating jobs or files with
page description language specific terminators (for example, Ctrl-D for PostScript or
<ESC><DEL>0 for PCL.)
You can use the %%Session command as a means of grouping multiple documents or
files, including documents created in different emulations, to form one larger document
treated as a single entity by Crown printers.
Despite their different printer description languages, subjobs can be combined using the
%%Session command to maintain global features, such as duplex mode, copy count,
document layout, and collation. This gives you the flexibility to override the major
document’s global printing attributes for one or more subjobs.
Some printer description languages support language-specific terminators which work
well when the complete document is composed of a single printer description language
(PDL) generated by a single application. However, language-specific terminators do not
work very well when you need to create a document from files using multiple printer
description languages. In such cases, high-level document manipulation applications find
it difficult to deal with markers without taking into account the language and semantics of
the language-specific delimiters.
The %%Sessions command can help solve that difficulty by offering a
language-independent means of combining multiple subjobs.
