9 Content generating tags
The following tags are available and can be used in any order.
Tag Description
<colorant> The color space of the device, such as DeviceCMYK or DeviceRGB.
The tag includes the color space of the device in the file name string. For
example, the template
<colorant><dot>hpf produces a file name of
the form
DeviceCMYK.hpf for a device using a CMYK color space (4-
colors) or a file name of the form
PhotoInk.hpf for a device using a
PhotoInk color space (6-colors).
<compression>
The form of compression used, such as Packbits.
You can use this tag to include the form of compression used in the file
name. For example, based on the job details above, the template
<compression><dot>hpf produces the file name Packbits.hpf.
<date>
The date when the job is processed, in the format YYYYMMDD, unless a
truncated form is specified.
The template
<date><dot>hpf produces the file name 20070129.hpf.
You can remove the year information by using the tag
<4date> to pro-
duce the file name
0129.hpf.
<dot>
Separates the stem of the file name from the file extension, and appears
as a period character (
. ) in the file name. For example
stem<dot>ext appears as stem.ext. The use of the <dot> tag enables
the verification of the stem and extension lengths.
This tag separates the file name stem from the file name extension and
enables the verification of their lengths. It is particularly necessary when
creating file names compatible with DOS and Windows, otherwise the
extension may be considered as part of the file name.
For example, the template
<dos><8jobname>.hpf would cause an error
because the dot is removed as an illegal character and
hpf is then con-
sidered part of the file name stem.
<job#>
The job number allocated by the RIP. Automatic numbering means that
successive jobs have incremental job numbers: 000, 001, 002, 003, and
so on.
You can use this tag to include the job number in the file name string.
The default length of the number is three digits, so the first job number
created with this tag would be 000, unless a different length is specified.
You can specify the length of the job number by preceding the
<job#>
tag with an integer. For example, <
5job#> creates job numbers five
digits long.
In multi-page jobs use the
<page#> tag as well as the <job#> tag to dif-
ferentiate between the different pages of a job.
