What Printer Types Support What Kind of Banner

Creating Banner Files

1
Make sure the Resource Management Service is enabled either in
iManage or by going to your server console and viewing the Broker status
screen.
2
In iManage, click Manage Broker and then browse to and select the
Broker you want to work with.
3
Click Resource Management Service > Banners.
4
Add or delete banners.
5
Click OK.
A list of supported banners is supplied by both the Novell Gateway (through
the PDS) and third-party gateways. The gateway first determines which file
extension (.PCL, .PS, or .TXT) is appropriate for the way the Printer object (or
Printer Agent) was configured during creation. It then queries the associated
Broker for a list of banner page files with that extension. For a list of formats
supported by a specific NDPS printer, go to the main Printer Details page and
click the Features button.
Administrators with knowledge of printer languages can create custom
banners for use with NDPS. NDPS currently supports three types of custom
banners:
PCL (.PCL extension). See
PostScript (.PS extension). See
95.
Generic text (.TXT extension). See
page 95.
