Advanced Paper Handling

Advanced Paper Handling (APH) commands are used to conditionally control specific options on your printer. APH is only supposed when using Printer-Centric and Optimized PostScript run modes, and will not function when using Windows Driver Output.

The APH commands available to you are determined by the PPD that is selected in your document's properties (see Set Up a Document under Basic Settings).

To add or edit an advanced paper handling operation:

1. Open the page's properties (see Set Up a Page), and click on the Advanced Paper Handling section.
2. To add an operation, right-click and choose Add in the appropriate paper handling area. To edit an existing operation, double-click it.
3. In the Paper Handling dialog box, enter a new paper handling operation or edit the existing one.
   • Section: Select the name of a paper handling property. This determines the contents of the Selection box. The PPD you selected in the Designed for box of the Document properties dialog box determines the contents of the Section box.
   • Selection: Select the value you want to associate with the paper handling property selected in the Section box.
   • Condition: Specify the condition under which this operation executes. You can select an existing condition from the drop-down list, or define a condition using a PlanetPress Talk expression. The current value of the condition appears below the Condition box. Clear the contents of the box if you want the operation to always execute.
4. Click OK.
