OutputAttributes dictionary Contains information about the output bin targets. There is a numeric key, which
is a dictionary, for each installed output bin. OutputType and OutputLocation are
the allowable keys in each output dictionary. OutputType is used in the search
algorithm to determine which output bin is used as the exit path.
The numeric keys are:
0 Standard Output Bin or Top Output Bin
1 Optional Output Bin 1 or Rear Output Bin
2 Optional Output Bin 2
3 Optional Output Bin 3
4 Optional Output Bin 4
5 Optional Output Bin 5
6 Optional Output Bin 6
7 Optional Output Bin 7
8 Optional Output Bin 8
9 Optional Output Bin 9
10 Optional Output Bin 10
OutputType fields can be assigned strings to specify the output destination.
For example:
<< /OutputAttributes << 0 << /OutputType
(Standard Bin) >> >> >> setpagedevice
<< /OutputAttributes << 1 << /OutputType
(Optional Output Bin 1 Exit) >> >> >> setpagedevice
For more information, see “OutputType” on page 4-57.
OutputLocation key is a read-only string that represents the name of the
associated destination.
The OutputAttributes dictionary contains a Priority Array. If an OutputType string
does not match, the priority array is searched in order for a valid output bin.
The initial value of the priority array is set at the beginning of a job and is equal to
the value of the menu item for
OutputBin. The array can be changed using this
setpagedevice operator:
<< /OutputAttributes << /Priority
[ 1 0 ] >> >> setpagedevice
This command gives the Optional Output Bin 1 (1) a higher priority than the
Standard Bin (0). Once the command is issued, if no match is found for the
OutputType string, the paper exits into the standard output bin.
OutputPage boolean Specifies if pages are actually printed. Supported values are:
True Job is processed as usual (default).
False No page is printed, but all other job processing occurs.
OutputType string Specifies the output bin destination for the current page. If the destination is not
null, setpagedevice compares it with the OutputType values in the
OutputAttributes dictionary during the search algorithm. If a match is found, this
output bin is the target output for the current page.
PageDeviceName string name
or null
Assigns or names a page device by using a string parameter. This is used by the
findcolorrendering operator.
