5.4 Hole Punch
Hole punching of IPDS jobs is available when an optional output bin with hole punch capability is
installed. See the table on page 48 to determine if your finisher supports hole punching.
A job may select hole punch by specifying it in an IPDS command. When hole punch is selected through
an IPDS data stream command, hole punch will override output bin selection and the job will be routed to
a bin that supports hole punch.
The following is an example of a job output statement that includes the Form Definition to perform 3-hole
punch.
//OUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=C,COPIES=1,FORMDEF=F1H10110
Pages may also be hole punched by selecting a value in the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU
> MAP INPUT TRAYS menu or in the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP
OUTPUT BINS menu. When this method is used, the hole punch command does not have to be received
in the job. Refer to your printer or output bin documentation to determine the hole punch location for
various paper sizes. The following sections describe how to use the printer menus to hole punch IPDS
jobs.
Note: The Hole Punch menu item under the printer menu does not affect hole punching of IPDS jobs.
5.4.1 Hole Punch From an Input Source
Hole punching may be performed on paper pulled from most input sources on the printer. Hole punching
from an input source is specified using the printer’s Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > MAP INPUT
TRAYS menu. See MAP INPUT TRAYS Menu Options on page 33 for additional information. A
combination of the printer physical input source and the IPDS data stream requested input source is used
to specify hole punching.
Example 1 - To have
all pages from Tray 1 hole punched (Default settings are assumed in this example)
To have
all pages
1. Select Tray Mapping 1
printed from the printer physical Tray 1 hole punched, specify the following in the MAP
INPUT TRAYS menu:
2. Select Tray 1Hp
3. Select IPDS Number 0
This sets Tray Mapping 1 to Tray 1Hp to IPDS Number 0. When the IPDS input source 0 is specified in
the data stream, paper is picked from the printer physical Tray 1 and hole punched.
Example 2 - To have
selected pages from Tray 1 hole punched (Default settings are assumed in this
example.)
To have some
pages punched and some pages not punched from Tray 1, specify the following in the IPDS
MENU > MAP INPUT TRAY menu:
Tray Mapping 1 to Tray 1 to IPDS Number 0 (Default Setting)
(When IPDS Number 0 is the requested source in the IPDS data stream, pages are pulled from the printer
physical Tray 1 and are not hole punched. 0 is the IPDS default input source value.)
