10d09e33 827<p>Constraints are option choices that are not allowed by the driver or device, for example printing 2-sided transparencies. All versions of CUPS support constraints defined by the legacy Adobe <tt>UIConstraints</tt> and <tt>NonUIConstraints</tt> keywords which support conflicts between any two option choices, for example:</p>

10d09e33 835<p>While nearly all constraints can be expressed using these keywords, there are valid scenarios requiring constraints between more than two option choices.

66ab9486 836
10d09e33 837<p>CUPS 1.4 and higher define two new keywords for constraints, <tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt> and <tt>cupsUIResolver</tt>.

The "resolver" string identifies a particular action to take for one or more <a href='#cupsUIConstraints'><tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt></a>. The same action can be used for multiple constraints. The option keyword pairs are treated as an ordered list of option selections to try - only the first N selections will be used, where N is the minimum number of selections required. Because <a href="api-ppd.html#cupsResolveConflicts"><code>cupsResolveConflicts()</code></a> will not change the most recent option selection passed to it, at least two options from the constraints must be listed to avoid situations where conflicts cannot be resolved.</p>

ef416fc2 980

10d09e33
MS
991<p>When the base option is part of the <tt>JCLSetup</tt> section, the "command" string contains JCL commands with "\order" placeholders for each numbered parameter. The CUPS API handles any necessary value quoting for HP-PJL commands. For example, if the JCL command string is "@PJL SET PASSCODE=\1" and the first
992option value is "1234" then CUPS will output the string "@PJL SET PASSCODE=1234".</p>
993
994<p>For non-<tt>JCLSetup</tt> options, the "order" value is a number from 1 to N and specifies the order of values as they are placed on the stack before the command. For example, if the PostScript command string is "&lt;&lt;/cupsReal1 2 1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice" and the option value is "2.0" then CUPS will output the string "2.0 &lt;&lt;/cupsReal1 2 1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice".</p>

db1f069b 1065<h2 class='title'><a name='RASTERPS'>Writing PostScript Option Commands for Raster Drivers</a></h2>
a4d04587 1066
10d09e33 1067<p>PPD files are used for both PostScript and non-PostScript printers. For CUPS raster drivers, you use a subset of the PostScript language to set page device keywords such as page size, resolution, and so forth. For example, the following code sets the page size to A4 size:</p>
ef416fc2 1068
db1f069b
MS
1069<pre class='command'>
1070*PageSize A4: "&lt;&lt;/PageSize[595 842]&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"
1071</pre>
ef416fc2 1072
db1f069b 1073<p>Custom options typically use other operators to organize the values into a key/value dictionary for <tt>setpagedevice</tt>. For example, our previous <tt>CustomWatermarkText</tt> option code uses the <tt>roll</tt> operator to move the custom string value into the dictionary for <tt>setpagedevice</tt>:</p>
ef416fc2 1074
db1f069b
MS
1075<pre class='command'>
1076*CustomWatermarkText True: "&lt;&lt;/cupsString1 3 -1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"
1077</pre>
ef416fc2 1078
db1f069b 1079<p>For a custom string value of "My Watermark", CUPS will produce the following PostScript code for the option:</p>
ef416fc2 1080
1081<pre class='command'>
db1f069b
MS
1082(My Watermark)
1083&lt;&lt;/cupsString1 3 -1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice
ef416fc2 1084</pre>
1085
db1f069b 1086<p>The code moves the string value ("My Watermark") from the bottom of the stack to the top, creating a dictionary that looks like:</p>
ef416fc2 1087
1088<pre class='command'>
db1f069b 1089&lt;&lt;/cupsString1(My Watermark)&gt;&gt;setpagedevice
ef416fc2 1090</pre>
1091
db1f069b 1092<p>The resulting dictionary sets the page device attributes that are sent to your raster driver in the page header.</p>
