feature is unavailable for booklet, duplex, or multiple pages per sheet
printing.

KPDL Settings

Smart duplex printing

This option automatically keeps a sheet of paper from being sent through the
duplex unit if the sheet is only printed on one side. The duplex unit is
bypassed for the following types of print jobs: a one page document, one
page from a multi-page document, or a multi-page document that prints onto
a single sheet. Selecting this option can reduce wear on the mechanical
duplex unit, and result in comparatively faster printing times.

Skip blank pages

This option prevents the printing system from outputting any page that
contains no data, or that has, at most, one space character. Selecting this
option can save paper, and result in comparatively faster printing times. This
feature is unavailable for booklet, duplex, or multiple pages per sheet
printing. When selected, Data passthrough is unavailable.

Data passthrough

This option reduces errors when printing complex jobs from applications that
use PostScript formatting. When selected, EMF spooling is unavailable in
the Advanced tab.

PDF Settings

alternative to existing commercial applications for creating PDF documents.
Documents saved as PDF retain their original appearance, and can be viewed
and printed on operating systems that display PDF content.

For a document using mixed paper sizes, all pages in the PDF use the size of
the first page.

available.
