Banner Template fails when using parenthesis in the filename of the job

Article summary

Banner page will not print as intended, fails at _UNP_JOBNAME_.

No further variables are showing after _UNP_JOBNAME_.


PROBLEM:

If a single parenthesis is present in the filename of a print job, the banner page will not print as intended. This happens if you are using a single open or closed parenthesis in the filename of the job. It will process the job but will not output the remainder of the banner page after the _UNP_JOBNAME_ variable. This is due to postscript rendering of the raw postscript file as it encounters a single parenthesis in the filename while it then looks for a closing argument or closing parenthesis. When this closing argument is not found the parsing of the raw job fails to finish rendering the remainder of the banner template variables correctly.

RESOLUTION:

There is currently no known solution for this problem. It will be addressed in a later version. The method to work around this would be to omit any single parentheses in the filename of the print job or include open and closed parentheses in pairs.

Filename Examples:

test(doc.txt or test)doc(.txt = will fail the remainder of the banner page template

test()doc.txt or test(doc).txt = will not fail
