Separator Pages with Kappris

Configuration changes were as follows:

• Set up a separator page kutana-pcl.sep, which incorporates the Escape codes necessary to print the separator page from Tray 2, which contains YELLOW paper. The file is a text file, despite the unusual extension.
• Set up TWO queues for the same printer – our Canon Colour printer. Queue "Office Colour" prints without the separator page, queue "Office Colour (SEPARATOR)"  prints with the separator page
• Queue "Office Colour" is set up in Kappris as belonging to printer pool SEPARATOR_OFF while the other queue belongs to printer pool SEPARATOR_ON
• Set up TWO print modes to print to plain paper. Print mode “Plain Simplex” uses printer pool SEPARATOR_OFF while Print mode “Plain Simplex with SEPARATOR Pages” uses printer pool SEPARATOR_ON

Printers are configured to use separator pages as below:

Using these configuration changes I was able to print from Outlook as follows:

• Email + attachments
  • Plain Simplex to Office Colour (SEPARATOR)
  • Each document, whether email OR attachment is preceded by a yellow separator page
• Email + attachments
  • Print Mode "Plain Simplex with SEPARATOR Pages" forces emails to print to Office Colour (SEPARATOR)
  • Each document, whether email OR attachment is preceded by a yellow separator page
• 3 Emails + all attachments
  • Email set to Plain Simplex to Office Colour (SEPARATOR)
  • Attachments set to Plain Simplex to Office Colour
  • Each root email print is preceded by a yellow separator page
  • After each root email all its attachments print without any separator

Other configuration options and selections at the user interface can be used but, in principle,

NOTE: The separator page MUST be saved in c:\windows\system32
