EN Job Management 10-3
HOLDTYPE Variable
The HOLDTYPE variable specifies the privacy level of the job. Valid
values are PUBLIC and PRIVATE.
JOBNAME Variable
This variable is the job name that may be generated by the driver or
obtained from user input. This value may be used in conjunction with
the USERNAME to select a job from the control panel. If the job
stream does not contain a JOBNAME, the printer will assume no job
name. Each subsequent job that is sent down by the same user will
replace the user's last job on disk. The driver is responsible for
determining the size of the printer's control panel and sending a string
of appropriate length.
Note To determine the size of the printer's control panel, use the INFO
CONFIG command, which is explained in Chapter 7. The returned
DISPLAY LINES value indicates the number of lines on the display,
and the DISPLAY CHARACTER SIZE value indicates the number of
characters that can be displayed.
Value Value Description
PUBLIC The job does not require a HOLDKEY value in order to
be released for printing. This is the default value.
PRIVATE The job requires a HOLDKEY value in order to be
released for printing. If the HOLD-TYPE is set to
PRIVATE, a HOLDKEY value must be specified. If no
HOLDKEY is specified, the job will be considered
PUBLIC.
Value Value Description
"jobname string" This string is limited by the size of the printer's
control panel display (up to 80 characters).
