Specifying A Medium For A Job; Specifying The Number Of Pages - HP 9000 User Manual

Basic Printing Tasks
Specifying Attributes for HPDPS Print Jobs
pdpr -x "document-type=file-reference" myref
submits the reference file, myref, and prints each document listed
within it. Each document within myref must be on a separate line.

Specifying a Medium for a Job

To specify a particular medium to print, you can specify a value for
input-tray-select, such as top or middle. If you do not specify a
value for this document attribute, HPDPS uses the default-medium
attribute value, such as iso-a4-white or iso-a4-transparent. If
that is not defined, then HPDPS uses the value identified for the
default-input-tray, such as top or middle.

Specifying the Number of Pages

You can include information about the size of a document within your
job. This may be helpful to you or an HPDPS administrator to help
manage job flow.
For example, if your job file File3 is about 50 pages long, you might
enter the command:
pdpr -x "page-count=50" File3
When submitting a job consisting of two files, you can specify the number
of pages for each document:
pdpr -x "page-count=40" FileA -x "page-count=70" FileB
