Using Initial Value Objects (IVOs) to Specify
Attribute Values
An initial value object (IVO) represents a collection of default values
for job or document attributes. There are two types of initial value
objects:
initial-value-document
initial-value-job
IVOs are contained in the spooler and can be used in two ways:
1. A logical printer can be created so it specifies a job or a document IVO
or both that will provide values for all jobs submitted to that logical
printer.
2. You can specify a job or a document IVO or both for a specific job with
the pdpr command when you submit the job.
HPDPS uses the attribute values specified in the IVOs and on the
command line in the following order:
1. Attribute values from an IVO associated with the logical printer are
used first.
2. Attribute values from an IVO specified with the pdpr command
override any values for the same attribute identified in the IVO
associated with the logical printer.
3. Attribute values entered on the command line or from an attribute
file specified with the pdpr command override the values for any
attributes with the same name that were specified in the previous
two conditions.
Here is an example of setting up an initial-value-job for a printer in order
to disable a banner page.
1. Create an initial-value-job for Spooler1:
pdcreate -c initial-value-job -x "job-sheets=none" \
Spooler1:no_banner_IVJ
2. Disable logical printer logptr and assign the initial-value-job to it:
a. pddisable logptr
b. pdset -c printer \
-x "printer-initial-value-job=no_banner_IVJ" logptr
