Figure 28: "Stored Job" Job Retention Option
User Name
The User Name edit box allows you to identify the job at the printer's control panel. The
restrictions for the User Name field are identical to those of the Job Name field as
described below. When the driver is first installed (or when the Factory Defaults Quick
Set is selected), this string initializes to the empty string (""), but the dialog box detects
this condition and replace the string with your logon name in Windows 98, Windows NT
4.0, and Windows 2000. It replaces it with UNTITLED Windows 95 and 3.x.
Job Name
The Job Name is used for specifying a name to identify the job on the printer's control
panel. When the driver is first installed (or when the "Factory Defaults" Quick Set is
selected), this string is initialized to the empty string (""), but the dialog box will detect this
condition and replace the string with UNTITLED.
The Job Name field can contain no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A-Z and 0-
9, because the name is displayed on the printer control panel. If you try to enter a lower-
case character, it automatically shifts to upper case. If you try to enter a character with an
ASCII code of less than 32 or greater than 126, the character is removed from the edit
field, along with all characters that follow it. If you try to enter more than 16 characters,
any characters beyond the 16th is truncated.
When the dialog is closed, or the edit box loses focus, an empty string is replaced with
UNTITLED. In those languages for which UNTITLED cannot be translated without the
use of invalid characters, the driver will use a string of three dashes. The acceptable
characters for Job Name and User Name vary for each operating system. The string
must be displayable on the printer’s control panel.
PIN
The box labeled PIN: is usually inactive. Select Private Job or Stored Job together with
Require PIN to Print to activate it. The Stored Job/PIN coupling has a PIN restriction of
four ASCII numeric characters (ASCII 0x30 through 0x39).
If you enter non-numeric characters, they are removed immediately. If you enter more
than four characters, the characters past the fourth one are truncated. The field
temporarily allows fewer than four digits in the string, but when edit field loses focus, the
zeroes pad the left end until there are exactly four digits. The default initialized value for
PIN is 0000 for Private Job and Stored Job with Require PIN to Print checked.
