Print attributes

Equitrac compares the network print job attributes to the defined rule attributes. For a print rule, you can define any combination of the attributes listed in the table below. A rule is applied only when all selected rule attributes match the job attributes.

Rule Criteria	Description
Group	Any selected Windows group to which the document’s originating user belongs. To ensure that a rule matches for all intended users, add all sub-groups to the rule as well.
Department	Any selected department to which the document’s originating user belongs.
Pages	The number of printed pages in the job.
Size	The print driver determines job size in bytes after processing. It will not be the same size as the file that you create with the printing application.
Color	A property of the print job—color or black and white.
Duplexing	A property of the print job—one or two-sided paper output.
Day of week	The rule applies only when the network print job is generated. You can use this field to differentiate weekday vs. weekend print rules.
Time of day	The rule applies only when the print job occurs between specific hours of the day.
Title matches	The rule applies to print jobs with a matching document name, specified by the application sending the print job. If using server-based printing, where the application name is added to the document title, enter the application title in the field (e.g. Microsoft Word). To add multiple titles within a rule, separate each name with a comma.
Application name	The rule applies to print jobs generated from a specific application (e.g. Microsoft Word). This feature is supported only if the Desktop Printing client and the Client Billing option is installed on the workstation where the job originated.
Device status	Use to redirect print jobs based on device status. The device that you apply the rule to must be a DME-monitored device. For example, if the job is offline for a particular period of time, you could route any incoming print jobs to a different compatible printer.
