HP Designget AG5234 Rev. 7 manual Post processing substitution codes, Checking the command string

USER GUIDE FOR HP 6 COLOR PLUGIN

Your string can contain substitution codes, which are expanded by the RIP. See “Post processing operations” on page 21 for details.

10.1 Post processing substitution codes

When using the post processing feature of the HP Designjet plugin, the RIP recognizes the substitution codes in the following list. You can insert an integer between the percent character and the letter code, to restrict the max- imum number of characters used in the result string. For example, %6j represents the first six characters of the job name.

Tag	Description
%c	The current separation color, represented by a string with a default
	length of one character. Typical separation names are Cyan, Magenta,
	Yellow and Black. Examples for the default length are: C, Y, M, and B.
%d	The current date in the format YYYYMMDD, with a default string
	length of 8. For example, 26 May 2007 becomes: 20070526.
%f	The output file name, as created by the template specified in the File
	Output: File Template text box in the Configuration dialog box. For
	example: out00001.hpf.
%j	The current page buffer name as shown in the Output
	Controller/Monitor. For example: 1. Apple.ps.
%n	The current job number, an integer that the RIP increments each time
	it processes a new job. For example: 15.
%o	The full output directory path specified in the File Output: Change...
	text box. For example: C:\SWNT\SW\Output\.
%p	The current page number within the job. For example: 4.
%r	The job resolution in dots per inch. For example: 300.
%s	The current job name, after removal of all the characters that would be
	illegal in a file name. For example: Appleps.
%g	A fixed jobname using the following rules:
	1. Skip over the leading nn.which the RIP pre-pends.
	2. Remove all non-alphanumeric characters.
%t	The current time in the format HHMMSS, using the 24 hour clock.
	The default length is 6. For example, a time just after 7:30 pm would
	be shown: 193211.
%x	The current file name suffix. For example: hpf.
%z	The current file name stem. For example: out00001.

10.2 Checking the command string

The RIP reports each command and the working directory in the main RIP monitor window, in the following form. Italics show which text can vary with different jobs and page setups.
