Send a Native Job


A native job is a job that is only spooled by PLOSSYS Output Engine without being converted or changed in some way.


For sending a native job to PLOSSYS Output Engine, the following ways are supported:

  • Send the job to a native queue. A queue becomes a native queue by specifying the following key in the Printer Configuration File:

    - printer: <printer_name>
      ...
      nativeQueue: true
      ...
    

    Hint - easyPRIMA

    In easyPRIMA, a queue becomes a native queue by specifying NATIVE_QUEUE.

  • Via IPP, set the following IPP attribute in the job to the following value:

    document-format application/vnd.plossys.native
    
  • Via IPP, set the following SEAL attribute in the job to the following value:

    "seal-attributes-v2": {
      "PLS_PLOTTYPE": "NATIVE"
      },
    

    Hint - send2pls

    PLS_PLOTTYPE can be set, for example, by send2pls.

    Hint - old naming convention

    The former name of the seal-attributes-v2 is seal-attributes. Values declared via seal-attributes will still be utilized but on a lower priority than seal-attributes-v2.

  • In a PostScript file, set the following comment:

    %%PLSHED: $ PLS_PLOTTYPE == "NATIVE"
