Banner pages are pages that are printed at the beginning of a print job and that
normally contain job identification information. In NDPS, banner pages can
be configured for PostScript*, PCL*, and text formats.
NDPS provides you with a variety of options for creating and selecting banner
page designs. You can choose from several ready-to-use banner page designs,
or you might create a unique design that includes your company's logo, a
drawing, or even a photograph.
When you add a new banner, it will be immediately available for printer
configurations. If you want a banner page to be printed, you can select which
banner design you want to use at the General tab on the Configuration page.
The Configuration page lists only banners available in the format your printer
supports. For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, only banners in
PostScript format will be available at the General configuration page.
Each banner page includes the following information in an information box at
the bottom of the page: Job Name, Job Owner, Time Printed, Date Printed.
If your client, printer, and server are not all configured for the same language,
you might experience problems with the output of your banner pages, such as
the job name being corrupted. If you are working in this type of mixed
environment, you should consider not using banner pages.
Banners are added to the resource database through the Broker's Resource
Management Service.
See the following topics for information about specific tasks associated with
using banners.
