command with the exception of -tejob_template and -sx(silent execution) (see also the description of xpadd -jobin the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual” and the section “Printing files” on page 17).

Defining a job template on the basis of an existing template

A quick method of defining a job template is to copy an existing template and modify it as required. Proceed as follows:

To find out which job templates are already defined in the system and which attributes these have, enter the following command:

xpshow -jtp

A list of all the existing job templates is displayed with their attributes.

Now copy a suitable job template and make the required modifications: xpcopy -jtpold_template new_template modifications

old_template represents the name of the existing template, while

new_template stands for the new, possibly modified template. The variable modifications represents a list of modifications which distinguish the new template from the old one. Each entry in this list consists of an option of the xpadd -jtpcommand and a corresponding value (see also chapter “Producing Output with Xprint V7.0”).

Adding a job template on a remote host

The Xprint V7.0 administrator (only) can also add a job template on a host other than the local host with the -ahhost_name option. To do this, proceed as follows:

Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator.

Add a job template on the remote host:

xpadd -jtptemplate_name options -ahhost_name

template_name

represents the name of the job template.

options

stands for a list of options that may be used with the xpadd -jtpcommand and which are applied whenever the template is used. These are all the options available with the xpadd -jobcommand with the exception of -tejob_template (see also chapter “Producing Output with Xprint V7.0”).
