RPM PCL Banner Transform
What it does
This transform inserts a PCL banner page.
Purpose
This transform provides a convenient way to attach a custom banner to a PCL print job. Note that we can pull from any tray, so you could use colored paper if you wish.
The “content” setting refers to what you will print. “Job” means RPM will generate a banner with job metadata. “Dot” indicates a single period; this allows systems that suppress blank pages to pass this page. “White space” is an empty page.
Setup
- Content Select the content of the banner page (Job, Dot, or white space)
- Input Tray The source tray from which the banner will be printed.
- Output Bin The printer-specific output bin.
- Top Enter the top margin (in inches) used for the banner (default: 0.75 inches)
- Left Enter the left margin (in inches) used for the banner (default: 0.75 inches)
- Paper Type Select the paper type installed in the selected input tray.
- Select font The font used on the banner page. All text on the banner page is printed in this font (default: Helvetica)
- Spacing Select whether to use proportional or fixed font spacing (default: fixed)
- Encoding Character encoding (codepage) to use.
- Font size Enter the size of the font in points (default: 14)
