Chapter 3. Customizing InfoPrint XT
This chapter describes how to customize InfoPrint XT for Windows (InfoPrint XT).
All procedures in this chapter are optional; you do not have to do them to use
InfoPrint XT.
Terms used in this chapter
Some topics in this chapter use the term ServerName_JobIdentifier . In combined
InfoPrint Manager for Windows (InfoPrint Manager) and InfoPrint XT installations,
ServerName_JobIdentifier is the InfoPrint Manager job identifier. The job identifier
consists of the name of the InfoPrint Manager server that processed the job,
followed by an underscore and a 10-digit number.
If you process a job using the pdxtx2afp command, InfoPrint XT uses a format of
jobname-jobID-n as the job identifier. InfoPrint XT automatically derives the jobname
and the jobID, and assigns a unique sequence number n. If InfoPrint XT cannot
derive the job name and the job ID, it uses UNKNOWN-UNKNOWN-n as the job
identifier.
This chapter also uses specific terms to represent directories on the Windows
system. %PDXTINSTDIR% represents the InfoPrint XT directory for its software
files. The default directory is:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint XT
%PDXTWORKDIR% represents the InfoPrint XT directory for variable data. The
default directory is:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint XT\var\pdxt
If you installed InfoPrint XT in a different directory, or if you change the working
directory, substitute the location that you specified for the base installation location
of C:\Program Files\IBM\Infoprint XT in the paths. See “Installing InfoPrint XT”
on page 13, and “Controlling the working directory that InfoPrint XT uses for
variable data (PDXTWORKDIR)” on page 22.
Setting environment variables
You can set environment variables to control certain aspects of InfoPrint XT
resource processing and job processing. If you set the InfoPrint XT environment
variables as system variables, they are available to all user accounts on the system.
If you set them as user variables, they are only available for the user account that
you used when you set them.
Notes:
1. To change system variables, you must log in with a user account that is a
member of the Windows computer administrator group.
2. To access the Windows interface from which you can set environment variables,
click Start→Control Panel→System. Then, click the Advanced tab and click
Environment Variables.
3. After you add an environment variable or change the value for an environment
variable, restart the Windows system.
