In the context of XPS files, a print ticket is a set of instructions that specifies how a document should be printed. It's essentially a configuration file that contains information about:

  • The dimensions and orientation of the printed pages.
  • The paper tray or feeder is to be used.
  • The resolution and color depth of the printed output.
  • Whether to print on both sides of the paper.
  • The order in which pages should be printed and collated.
  • Any additional finishing options, such as stapling, binding, or hole punching.

XPS What is XPS File Format

XPS format is similar to PDF format. Both are page description language (PDL) formats. EPS is based on HTML and not on PostScript language. The .eps file is capable to contain a markup of the document's structure along with the information on how the document would look like. There are also added instructions on how to print and render the document. The feature of the format is that it fixes the document's description which means that it will look the same no matter who and from what operational system opens it.
