bin
-
specifies the name or number of the output
bin. Values for bin depend on the type of printer
and can be one of the following:
bin |
the name or number of the output
bin - for example, PAPERDEST=4, PAPERDEST=BIN2, PAPERDEST=SIDE |
'long bin name' |
a character string that is the name
of the output bin - for example, PAPERDEST='Top Output Bin'. Names
with blanks or special characters must be quoted. |
For PostScript printers, the value for bin must correspond to
an OutputBin value in the PPD file.
For PCL printers, consult the printer's documentation
for valid bin values. If a numeric value exceeds the maximum bin value allowed
for the printer, a warning message is issued . For string values, the string
is checked against a list of strings that are valid for the driver (for example,
'UPPER', 'LOWER', or 'OPTIONALOUTBINn', where n is the bin number). If the string is not valid for the driver,
a warning message is issued.
