Workflow Improvement
A banner page is a page that is printed before the job, and
contains information about the job.
Example: 3-page job with stapling
Slide 50
A banner page is used in network printing in order to separate documents (or
"print jobs") from each other and to identify the originator of the print by user
name.
In some cases, print jobs are sent to a central processing area where
messengers take the printouts back to the owner, but the usual practice in
modern office environments is for the user to retrieve his or her own
documents. The banner page makes it clear who printed each job.
Printed banner pages are counted as B&W jobs.
The banner page is not available for "Sample print", "Locked print", "Stored
print", "Hold print" and "Send to Document Server". Although exclusive control on
printer driver UI is available on Windows OS, it doesn't work on Mac OS. This
means that if both banner page and "Locked print" are selected at the same time
on Mac OS, but the banner page setting is ignored.
Landscape can't be selected as the orientation of banner pages.
The NetBIOS name will be used as the Host name on banner pages. If users set
a computer name which is longer than 15 bytes on a Windows OS, only the first
15 bytes of the computer name will be printed as Host name because of
Windows OS specifications.
If languages which are not supported by MFPs are included in the account
name, computer host name or job name, the characters will be garbled.
When users print multiple copies, just one sheet of banner page will be printed
before the first copy. But please note that there are some applications which
handle multiple copies as multiple jobs. In this case, banner pages will be printed
before each copy.
Banner Page
Users can activate this function on the property screen of printer
drivers (PCL5, 6 & PS). This function is also available from Mac
OS X 10.2or later.
The following items are printed on a banner page.
- Log-in User Name, User ID or Windows/Mac account name
- The Date and Time the document was printed
- The originating computer hostname (server hostname will be
printed when "Point & Print" is used).
- The Job name
Example: 2 sets of a 3-page job
