Document Option Commands6
Introduction
MINOLTA-QMS printers offer a wide range of features for designing and printing
documents. Applications and printer emulations (such as PostScript, HP-GL, HP PCL)
differ in their ability to access some of the printer’s features. The Document Option
Commands (DOC) provide a way to access printer features that are not accessible by your
application or the printer emulation.
Document Option Commands provide a quick and convenient way to access printer
features. By using Document Option Commands instead of individual printer language
commands, one driver can support all languages or emulations used by the printer.
If you are a system administrator, use your host network software to create customized
queues for all users connected to the printer. Use Document Option Commands to
generate personalized header pages or to activate special printer features for each user.
Characteristics of DOCs
Job related
Document Option Commands are relevant to the formatting of documents.
Human readable
No special programming skills are necessary to use Document Option Commands.
Emulation transparent
Document Option Commands are recognized, interpreted, and stripped from the
data stream before the print job is interpreted by the emulation.
Printer Compatibility
Printer features vary on each printer. For example, some of our printers may have a
built-in stapler. Document Option Commands designed to access stapler features would
not work on a printer that does not have a stapler. The purpose of this manual is to provide
an overall context for Document Option Commands used with any printer. Refer to your
printer documentation for a list of Document Option Commands supported and new
Document Option Commands designed to use the particular features of your printer. Refer
to this manual for general examples of how to use Document Option Commands.

Document Option Commands 7
Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP)
Using a form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology analyzes incoming file data from
any of the printer’s interfaces. ESP technology selects the appropriate printer language
from those installed on the printer and processes the print job, freeing the user from the
need to change printer switch settings or send software commands to accommodate
different printer emulations.
Using DOCs
When using Document Option Commands, the print job consists of a DOC prologue
attached to the emulation page descriptions. The prologue consists of text statements that
provide information for the header and trailer pages, and Document Option Commands
that specify how the job is to be processed and printed.
Examples
All DOC prologues begin with %! symbols on the first line. Each DOC statement begins
with two percent signs (%%) as the first characters on a line. Next, a unique keyword
follows with any optional arguments to the next line. Each line is limited to 255
characters. Spaces in the DOC statement are allowed only between keywords and
arguments.
DOC Statement Example
%%IncludeFeature: duplex(on)
Argument
Unique Keyword
Double Percent Signs
Argument Attribute

Document Option Commands8
DOC Prologue Example
%!
%%Title: A Sample Document for the printer
%%For: Corporate Communications
%%Date: 08/21/00 12:30:00
%%IncludeFeature: duplex(on)
%%End Comments
Actual text of print job...
Note that alphabetic case is important for keywords. Use the following rules for all
keywords.
All keywords are lowercase except for the first letter of each “word.” For example:
%%Title; %%IncludeFeature.
All arguments are lowercase except where specified.
DOC Statement Syntax
Document Option Commands have the following syntax:
 Mixed case commands must be typed exactly as shown.
Syntax Indicator Keyword
parameters
Indicator An indicator that a Document Option Statement follows. Indicators are %%.
Keyword The command name. Typical examples of indicators and keywords are
%%Title:
%%CreationDate:
%%IncludeFeature:
%%EndComments
Argument Lowercase command that causes action to occur with the print job or printer
function.
Attributes Attributes specify settings for the command. For example, the paper size
attribute of the %%IncludeFeature: input command specifies the paper size
that is to be used for the print job:
%%IncludeFeature: input (letter)

Document Option Commands 9
Syntax Conventions
Example
%%IncludeFeature: orientation (<rotation>)
<rotation> ::== Portrait | Landscape | portrait | land-
scape
 Unless noted, all parameters not shown in bold or within < > or { }, must be typed
exactly as shown in the syntax.
 Mixed case commands must be typed exactly as shown.
About the DOC Prologue
The DOC prologue is attached to the beginning of a print job either by the person who is
sending the job to the printer, or by a host system print queue. The following rules apply to
DOC prologues:
Every DOC prologue must begin with a single “comment line.” (Comment lines begin
with %! and include all subsequent characters up to the first newline character
encountered.) If a comment line is not on line 1 of the prologue, the printer (or host
software) assumes that no prologue is in the current print job. (If you have subsequent
lines containing valid Document Option Commands, the commands may be ignored
or cause unpredictable results.)
(...) Parentheses are explicit separators that must be entered as shown in the com-
mand syntax. One space (hex 20) is recommended for separation before and
after the parentheses.
< ...> Attributes or values within < > brackets are optional variables. Do not include the
brackets.
[...] Items within square brackets are optional variables.
{...} Parameters or values within curly braces may be repeated one or more times.
Do not include the braces.
::== logical equate symbol
| logical OR function
Spacing Spacing may be used to separate multiple commands and/or arguments on a
single line.

Document Option Commands10
All DOC statements are specified by two percent signs (%%) as the first characters on
a line. The statements consist of a unique keyword and any optional arguments up to
the next newline (linefeed). Use space characters only for the separation of keywords
and arguments. Do not use a space to separate the %% characters from the keywords
or at the beginning of a line. Keywords are case sensitive; type them exactly as shown
in this manual.
All Document Option Commands for a print job must appear in the prologue at the
beginning of the job and must follow one another. The prologue terminates when the
system recognizes a line that does not begin with %% or when it encounters the
%%EndComments command.
When a Document Option Command is used more than once in a print job, the first
instance takes precedence. When multiple files, each beginning with their own Docu-
ment Option Commands, are concatenated together as a single print job, only the com-
mands listed first take effect unless a newlayout command is also included in the print
job. Note that a newlayout command can be used at the beginning of a subjob. Sub-
jobs can be delimited by the %%Session command or by emulation specific job ter-
minators. The newlayout command must be included with each set of Document
Option Commands that you want to be evaluated and used. For more information, see
Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” .
When different Document Option Commands set conflicting attributes for print jobs,
the first command takes precedence.
You may place comment lines (%!) anywhere in the prologue. The printer ignores all
comment lines.
Printing attributes that are not specified by Document Option Commands are determined
by printer default settings.
Unrecognized or unsupported Document Option Commands are ignored. Unrecognized or
invalid arguments to Document Option Commands are also ignored.
DOC Statement Line Constraints
The statement lines have constraints concerning line length and line endings:
Statements (on a single line) must be less than or equal to 255 characters in length,
excluding line termination characters.

Document Option Commands 11
All lines must end with a carriage return character (hex 0D), a line feed character (hex
0A), or a carriage return/line feed combination (hex 0D, hex 0A).
Continuation Lines
In some cases, you may want to use a DOC statement containing more than 255
characters. Continuation lines can be added by beginning each additional line with %%+.
For example, continuation lines might be used in the following manner:
%!
%%Title: A Sample Document for the printer
%%For: Corporate Department
%%Date: 12/25/00 12:35:00
%%IncludeFeature: duplex (on) collate (on)
%%+numcopies (10)
%%+inputbin (1)outputbin (2)input (letter)
%%EndComments
Actual text of print job...
Accessing Printer Features
The %%IncludeFeature keyword includes arguments for selecting printer features.
%%IncludeFeature: argument (attributes) [argument (attributes)...]
More than one argument may be included in a %%IncludeFeature: DOC statement, but
the statement must not exceed 255 characters per line. Use continuation lines that begin
with %%+ if your %%IncludeFeature statement exceeds the 255 characters-per-line
limit. For more information on accessing printer features through the
%%IncludeFeature: DOC statement, see Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” on
page 35.
argument In this case, one of the Document Option Commands that select printer features.
Chapter 3, “Selecting Printer Features” tells you how to use Document Option
Commands to access printer features.
attributes The variables for the specified command. Attributes include on, off, and alphanu-
meric names and values. The value must be enclosed in ( ).

Document Option Commands12
%%IncludeFeature Command Example
This example specifies orientation, margins, input bin, output bin, copies, duplexing, and
collation:
%%IncludeFeature: orientation (portrait)
%%+margins (3600 7200 3600 3600) inputbin (Letter)
%%+outputbin (1) numcopies (5) duplex (on)
%%+collate (on)
DOC Prologue Terminator
The %%EndComments command terminates the DOC prologue and signals the beginning
of the print job's data. All data after the %%EndComments command is handled by the
selected emulation. The command syntax is
%%EndComments
This command should be used only to prevent further processing of Document Option
Commands. The DOC prologue is also terminated when a line is encountered that does not
begin with %% or %! characters.

Document Option Commands 13
Sample DOC Prologue
The prologue shown below uses all the header and trailer page Document Option
Commands described in chapter 2 as well as the %%IncludeFeature command described
earlier in this chapter. The figure on the next page shows the header page that results from
this prologue. (The printer and product names shown on header and trailer pages vary
depending on the product.)

Header and Trailer Pages

Header and Trailer Pages20
Introduction
Header and trailer pages are separator pages that identify each print job and help users sort
out print jobs in the printers output bin. A “header” page prints before the first page of a
print job. A “trailer” page prints after the last page of a print job. Use the Document
Option Commands in this chapter to turn header/trailer pages on or off and to customize
the information displayed on them.
