<h1 class="topictitle1">STAPLE (Staple) keyword in printer files</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Use this record-level keyword to specify that a stapling operation
|
||
|
|
should be done within the spool file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The stapling operation must be defined on the CORNERSTPL, EDGESTITCH,
|
||
|
|
or SADLSTITCH parameters on the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, or OVRPRTF commands. If
|
||
|
|
no stapling is defined on the printer file, then the STAPLE keyword is ignored.
|
||
|
|
If you do not specify the STAPLE keyword, the entire spool file will be stapled
|
||
|
|
according to the definition on the EDGESTITCH, SADLSTITCH, or CORNERSTPL parameters.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
format of the keyword is:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>STAPLE([on/off-indicator])</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>When
|
||
|
|
a STAPLE keyword is processed, the printer ejects a page, and all previous
|
||
|
|
pages that have been stacked since the last staple operation are stapled together.
|
||
|
|
This includes pages that were processed since the beginning of the spool file,
|
||
|
|
since the last STAPLE keyword was issued, or since stapling resumed after
|
||
|
|
the last STAPLE(*ON) was issued.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, for simple printing, if
|
||
|
|
the STAPLE keyword where issued at the beginning of page 5, then the previous
|
||
|
|
4 pages are stapled together. Some printers might not support the stapling
|
||
|
|
of a single page.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The optional off-on stapling indicator specifies whether
|
||
|
|
stapling should be turned off within the spool file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">*OFF</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies that stapling is turned off. All previous pages that were processed
|
||
|
|
since the beginning of the spool file, since the last STAPLE keyword was issued,
|
||
|
|
or since stapling resumed after the last STAPLE(*ON) was issued are stapled
|
||
|
|
together. STAPLE(*OFF) remains in effect until a STAPLE(*ON) keyword is issued.
|
||
|
|
STAPLE(*OFF) must be specified on a record format issued on a page boundary.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">*ON</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies that stapling is to resume. This is normally
|
||
|
|
issued after a STAPLE(*OFF) was issued on a previous record format. If stapling
|
||
|
|
is currently defined as on, then this keyword is ignored. STAPLE(*ON) remains
|
||
|
|
in effect until a STAPLE(*OFF) keyword is issued. STAPLE(*ON) must be specified
|
||
|
|
on a record format issued on a page boundary. The STAPLE(*ON) keyword does
|
||
|
|
not cause any previously processed pages to be stapled.</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>STAPLE is ignored at run time if it is not
|
||
|
|
specified on a page boundary. The printer is on a page boundary when no named
|
||
|
|
or constant fields are processed for a page. After a named or constant field
|
||
|
|
is processed, the printer is no longer on a page boundary. The printer is
|
||
|
|
on a page boundary again when a SKIP, SPACE, ENDPAGE, FORCE, or INVMMAP keyword
|
||
|
|
is processed, which causes the printer to move to a new page.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>STAPLE,
|
||
|
|
SKIP, and SPACE keywords are processed in the following order:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>SKIPB
|
||
|
|
SPACEB
|
||
|
|
STAPLE
|
||
|
|
SPACEA
|
||
|
|
SKIPA</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The stapling operation will cause the ejection
|
||
|
|
of the current sheet of paper. When duplexing is in effect (specified on the
|
||
|
|
printer file or DDS), if STAPLE is issued when starting an odd page (for example,
|
||
|
|
page 5), then the previous 4 pages (2 sheets of paper) will be stapled. If
|
||
|
|
STAPLE is issued when starting an even page (for example, page 6), then the
|
||
|
|
previous 5 pages (3 sheets of paper) will be stapled. The back side of the
|
||
|
|
third sheet of paper will be blank.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>STAPLE is valid only for printer
|
||
|
|
files defined with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Option indicators are valid for
|
||
|
|
this keyword. Only one STAPLE keyword for each record format is valid at any
|
||
|
|
time.</p>

<p>The

printer is not on a page boundary after record format RECORD1 is processed.
|

|
When record format RECORD2 is processed, STAPLE is ignored. Because SKIPB(1)
|
||
|
|
is specified on RECORD3, the printer is on a page boundary when STAPLE is
|
||
|
|
processed. All previous processed pages since the last stapling operation
|
||
|
|
will be stapled together. RECORD 4 turns off stapling. All previous processed
|
||
|
|
pages since the last stapling operation will be stapled together. Stapling
|
||
|
|
will not resume unless a STAPLE(*ON) is issued on a another record format.</p>
