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.
