Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page contains the following items. The
banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job.
y The name of the user that submitted the print job.
y The job ID number and from which workstation it was submitted.
y The title of the job. This title can be specified using the “-t” option. The same title is used for every file within a job. The
default title is controlled by the “lp” command.
y The name of the printer or its IP address.
y The date and time when the job was printed according to the print server.
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job are requested. The banner
page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is never stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
y Copies = 1.
y Stapling off.
y Orientation = portrait.
y Duplex off.
y Paper size as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer’s default value.
y The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source
and media type.
y Auto paper source selection or the requested banner page source or media type.
y Output bin as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer default value.
y 6 lines per inch
y Auto-wrap on.
y Automatic carriage-return when a line-feed is sent.
yThe banner page is designed to fit the paper bigger than Statement / A5.
The banner page uses the default paper size if paper is set to:
-Statement
-A5
-A6
-B5
-Postcard
yThe default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stacking order.
yWhen the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
yThe paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source
and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media
type is not specified then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
yIf the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally the banner page may print to the
wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
yHole punching cannot be applied to banner pages.
