BIN

Syntax

bin bin-code

Description

The bin keyword is used to specify the output bin for any copy.  Larger, departmental laser printers often have two or more bins, allowing print job output to be separated.  In UnForm, you can specify a bin for each copy, or for the whole job.

bin-code is printer-specific, with 1 generally being the top, face-down bin, and 2 being a side or rear face-up bin.  Some models may offer additional bins; see your printer's documentation for additional bin codes.

The printer model’s (-m command line option) PPD file (or generic pcl.ppd or ps.ppd files) can specify *OutputBin bin-code entries which are used if present.
