The printer banners field is the first line (or lines) that can appear in the handling caveats in the lower third of the banner and trailer pages.
At commercial sites, the Security Administrator role can associate any text in the PRINTER BANNERS section with any compartment bit, as long as the compartment bit is also assigned to a word in the SENSITIVITY LABELS section of the label_encodings file. In the following example, the printer banner is the line that reads COMPANY PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL: NTK HUMAN RESOURCES.
By convention in government installations, the printer banner line displays any caveats that are associated with the subcompartments of the job's sensitivity label. The following example shows a typical PRINTER BANNER at a government installation. Any string could be specified instead of the string shown here: (FULL SA NAME).
Following are the encodings for the printer banner line (FULL SA NAME) in Figure 3-7.
First, the word (FULL SA NAME) is associated in the PRINTER BANNERS section of the label_encodings with compartment bit 2.
PRINTER BANNERS: WORDS: . . . name= (FULL SA NAME); compartments= 2; |
Example 3-3 shows the SENSITIVITY LABELS definitions for the same compartments and markings used in the PRINTER BANNER definitions in Figure 3-7. In the example, compartment bit 2 is associated with the subcompartment word SA.
The printer banner string displays as (FULL SA NAME) because:
The label contains the subcompartment word SA.
Compartment bit 2 is associated with the subcompartment word SA.
Compartment bit 2 is associated with the string (FULL SA NAME) in the PRINTER BANNERS encodings.
SENSITIVITY LABELS: WORDS: . . . name= SB; minclass= TS; compartments= 3-5; name= SA; minclass= TS; compartments= 2; |
Following is a planning table for PRINTER BANNERS.
