Japanese term

対象者に対し、ESを印刷命令

Japanese to English Marketing Human Resources
Hi,

I'm getting a bit confused about the grammar here, because of the term "印刷命令", which seems to mean a technical term "print command". Does this mean that one is instructing the applicants to print the ES, or rather, that the company will be printing the ES for the applicants?

Discussion

Shimpei Shimizu (X) Sep 20, 2009:
More context needed Without appropriate context, I cannot tell if the phrase is a truncated version of 「ESを印刷し命令」 or 「ESを印刷するよう命令」. The former means for the company to print the ES and use it to 'order' the 対象者 (like PO, or 命令書), and the latter would mean to 'order' the 対象者 to print ES (whatever it is).

Thoughts?

print for the applicant/recipient

Although I don't know the context or what ES means, I'm pretty sure it's saying to issue the command to print out "ES" for the applicant.

instructing the applicable individuals to print the ES

I am not sure what ES is, but the first impression the clause gave me was that it meant "instructing the applicable individuals to print the ES."

This is because I think the expression would be "対象者に向け" if "対象者" are people outside of the company. Also, "対象者" does not usually mean applicant unless it refers to a specific group of people among applicants.

So, the impression I get from this clause alone is that the company/management group commands a specific group of employees to print ES.
