USER GUIDE FOR HP 6 COLOR PLUGIN
AG50324 Rev. 7 18
copies of the file are created. If the template contains just static tags (such as
<jobname>, where the job name
remains constant), a single output file is created because previous files are overwritten.
Tag Description
<ascii>
Limits the character set of the file name (from the point of the tag onwards)
to ascii characters in the range 32 (0x20) to 126 (0x7E). Characters outside
this range are discarded. To substitute invalid characters rather than dis-
carding them, prefix the tag with the substitution character value in deci-
mal.
<dos>
Verifies that the file name is a legal file name for the MS-DOS operating
system.
The use of this tag verifies that the file name is suitable for use in a DOS
operating system. Illegal characters such as a colon, and white space char-
acters cause an error.
For example, the template
<dos><jobname><dot>hpf, would generate an
illegal file name because the job name could be greater than the eight char-
acters allowed in DOS operating systems. Truncation can be forced by
using the template
<dos><8jobname><dot>hpf, which produces the file
name
Uncalibr.hpf.
<mac>
Verifies that the file name is a legal file name for the Macintosh operating
system.
The use of this tag verifies that the file name is suitable for use in a
Macintosh operating system. Illegal characters such as an asterisk, colon,
and quotation marks cause an error. The maximum length of a file name is
thirty-one characters (including the file extension).
For example, using the template
<mac><28jobname><dot>hpf produces
the file name
Uncalibrated Target Default.hpf, in which the colon
has been removed.
<macosx>
Verifies that the file name is a legal file name for the Mac OS X operating
system.
<unix>
Verifies that the file name is a legal file name for the UNIX operating
system.
The use of this tag verifies that the file name is suitable for use in the
UNIX operating system. Illegal characters such as an asterisk, colon, and
quotation marks cause an error. The
<dot> tag cannot be used with this tag
because file names in UNIX are composed of a single string and are not
considered to have separate file extensions.
For example, using the template
<unix><255jobname>.hpf produces the
file name
UncalibratedTargetDefaultCMYK+spotcolorstarget.hpf,
in which the colon and white space characters have been removed.
<win32>
Verifies that the file name is a legal file name for Windows operating
systems:
The use of this tag verifies that the file name is suitable for use in a
Windows operating system. Illegal characters such as an asterisk, colon, or
quotation marks cause an error.
For example, the template
<win32><jobname><dot>hpf produces the file
name
Uncalibrated Target Default CMYK + spot colors
target.hpf
, in which the colon has been removed.
