ISD FilePrinter PS (PostProcess)	In the Configuration selection field you can specify a configuration file that regulates the PostScript output to another file format (e.g. PDF). The corresponding system files for the respective file format outputs are located in the directory \ISDFilePrinterSettings\ of the Spooler configuration and have the file extension ".PostProcess" (e.g. "ISD FilePrinter PS.PDF.PostProcess" for PDF). If required, you need to adjust the specifications of the output paths and the existing PostScript version of your individual system environment. In the selection field you can only choose PS output configurations that have been activated in the corresponding PostProcess file (option is greyed out by default).
Orientation	Portrait or Landscape
Copies	Specifies number of copies
Scaling	Enables you to scale document printouts and line thickness (for HiCAD drawings only)

Output-date-time

The HELiOS Print Client enables you to set a time and a date for the output of specific print jobs, allowing a processing of large files at night or during the weekend.

Immediately: The Print Client immediately processes the print job.
Select: You can set the time and date at which the order should be processed.
Banner: This function is only available for HiCAD drawings.

Activate the Output banner checkbox to print a title block of a drawing.
Select the appropriate checkbox.

You can print the following fields: Host name, user, job name (can be entered manually), date and time.

Select Transparent for a translucent background for the banner.
Specify the Insertion point by marking the appropriate TEXT button.

Click the Abc.. to specify extended settings regarding text formatting (bold, italic, underline, font, character set, text height) and text alignment (rotation in degrees and XY-displacement). The specifications are made relative to the insertion point. Insertion points 3, 8, 9 will result in a rotation of +90°, insertion points 11,7,10 in a rotation of - 90°. The reference point is located at the leftmost side of the text base line.

Priority, Margins, Colour

These functions are only available for HiCAD drawings.

Priority: You can determine the sequence in which print jobs are processed. The lowest number indicates the highest priority.
Colour: Specify whether the printout will be black/white or coloured (depends on output device setting).
Margins: If you select the Set to minimum option (checkbox), margins can no longer be set. The print area of the selected output device will be accepted.

If the Set to minimum checkbox is not activated, the width of margins can be set.
