Procedure for specifying attributes
On the Processing panel, specify:
- Data format field: Select the data format
of the input document that your filter applies to.
- Filter field: Specify the name of the filter
followed by the options that you want to provide as command line
arguments to the filter.
- If the filter is a DLL filter, type the absolute pathname unless
the filter is in a directory named in the LIBPATH environment variable.
- If the filter is a UNIX filter, type spawn before
the filter name. Type the absolute pathname of the filter unless the
filter is in a directory named in the PATH environment variable.
- Resubmit for filtering field: Select this
field if you run IP PrintWay™ basic
mode. For more information about this field, see Resubmitting documents to Print Interface for filtering (basic
mode).
Selecting this field can adversely impact system performance.
Example

If the input data stream contains line data, IP PrintWay calls the my_unix_filter filter
to transform line data. The option and operand that follow the filter
name are passed to the filter.
