Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page contains
the following items. The banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job.
y The name of the user that submitted the print job.
y The job ID number and from which workstation it was submitted.
y The title of the job. This title can be specified using the “-t” option. The same title is used for
every file within a job. The default title is controlled by the “lp” command.
y The name of the printer or its IP address.
y The date and time when the job was printed according to the print server.
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job
are requested. The banner page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is
never stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
y Copies = 1.
y Stapling off.
y Orientation = portrait.
y Duplex off.
y Paper size as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer’s default value.
y The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than
the job’s paper source and media type.
y Auto paper source selection or the requested banner page source or media type.
y Output bin as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer default value.
y 6 lines per inch
y Auto-wrap on.
y Automatic carriage-return when a line-feed is sent.
y The banner page is designed to fit the paper .
y The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stack-
ing order.
y When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
y The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than
the job’s paper source and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the
auto source command is sent. If a banner media type is not specified then no banner media
type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
y If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally the banner
page may print to the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
