The following restrictions will be applied to create a banner page for a print job.
The banner page is available only if you selected [Normal Print] in the [Job Type:] list.
The date and time of the job printed on the banner page may differ from the date and time recorded in the job log. The printed and actual print time may also differ if a print job was paused due to reasons such as an error and later resumed.
To cancel printing of a document, you need to cancel printing of both the banner page and the job itself.
When printing is complete, print logs are recorded separately for the banner page and the print job.
Depending on the print settings, a banner page may be printed on paper whose size and type are different from that of the print job.
Depending on the print settings, a banner page may be output to a paper output different from that of the print job.
If non-alphanumeric characters are used in the text string on the banner page, they may not be printed properly.
Depending on the application being used, a banner page may be printed for each set of copies when multiple sets of copies are printed.
If a print job contains pages of different sizes or orientation, a banner page can be inserted before the paper size or orientation changes depending on the application being used. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word for Mac and print a document that is composed of different page sizes or orientations, the document will be divided into multiple jobs at points where the document size or orientation changes, and a banner page will be inserted for each job.
Depending on the application being used, a banner page can be inserted before each job when the print job is composed of multiple jobs. For example, if you are using a spreadsheet application and print multiple sheets at one time, the output can be divided into multiple print jobs, and a banner page can be inserted for each job.
