Setting a separator page and changing print device mode

Setting a separator page and changing print device mode

Separator pages have two uses on Windows Server 2012 R2 systems:

You can use them at the beginning of a print job to make it easier for users to find a document on a busy print device.

You can use them to change the print device mode, such as whether the print device uses PostScript or Printer Control Language (PCL).

To set a separator page for a print device, follow these steps:

1. On the Advanced tab of the printer’s Properties dialog box, tap or click Separator Page.

2. In the Separator Page dialog box, enter the name of the separator file to use. Typically, you’ll want to use one of these available separator pages:

? Pcl.sep Switches the print device to PCL mode and prints a separator page before each document

? Pscript.sep Sets the print device to PostScript mode but doesn’t print a separator page

? Sysprint.sep Sets the print device to PostScript mode and prints a separator page before each document

NOTE Sysprintj.sep is an alternate version of Sysprint.sep. If fonts for Japanese are available and you want to use them, you can use Sysprintj.sep.

3. To stop using the separator page, open the Separator Page dialog box and remove the file name.

NOTE When you work with a local server, tap or click the Browse button in the Separator Page dialog box to open the %SystemRoot%WindowsSystem32 folder for browsing. In this case, you can browse and select the separator page to use. In contrast, when you work with a remote server, the Browse button is typically not available, so you must enter the exact file name for the separator page.
