Roll Feed Printing Extensions: eliminate margins

Michael R Sweet edited this page Apr 17, 2020 · 1 revision

Some vendor printer drivers support special roll-feed printing modes for eliminating the whitespace around input pages, typically either for banner printing or saving media.

One proposal is the "eliminate-margins (type2 keyword)" Job Template attribute with the following keyword values:

  • "all": Eliminate all whitespace at the top and bottom of each page.
  • "banner": Eliminate top/bottom whitespace/margins between pages.
  • "none": No whitespace/margin elimination.

Another proposal is to define new "imposition-template" values, e.g.:

  • "banner": Eliminate top/bottom whitespace/margins between pages
  • "compressed": Eliminate top/bottom whitespace/margins for every page.
