4 PRINTING FROM UNIX/Linux

„General options

The following options apply to all print files.

yOption commands are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.

ySome printing functions may be disabled depending on the combinations of option commands because priority is given to the specifications of this equipment over option commands.

‰Print Language

The “net_estbw” program needs to know what printer language is used in each of the files that it is printing so that it can issue the correct commands to select various options. The following options are valid for the print languages.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
auto		Each file to be printed is examined to see if it starts with
		the “%!” sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it is
		a PostScript file, otherwise it assumes that it is a plain
		text or a PCL6 file.
pcl		The print file is always treated as a plain text or a PCL6
		file.
postscript	ps	The file is always treated as a PostScript file.
raw		The file is treated as a fully formatted file that already
		contains all the necessary commands. The file is sent to
		the printer without any modifications. In this mode no
		other options are valid and a banner page is not printed.

All PCL5e jobs automatically send the “<esc>&k2G” command to convert the line-feed character into a carriage-return - line-feed sequence. If the PCL5e job contains some of its own escape sequences it may override this setting.

The default print language is “auto”.

Example: The command to specify that a file is PostScript is “lp -d <queuename> -o ps <filename>”.

‰Stapling

This option sets whether a print job is printed with staples. When the optional Finisher is installed, you can specify the stapling position using the following options.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
staple=0		Stapling is turned off.
staple=1		Staple in the top left corner of a portrait page and the
		upper right corner of a landscape page.
staple=2		Put two staples on the left side of a portrait page or the
		top side of a landscape page printed on long-edge-feed
		paper. This command has no effect when the paper is
		fed from the short-edge side.
staple=3		Staple in the bottom left corner of a portrait page and
		the upper left corner of a landscape page.
staple=4		Staple in the top right corner of a portrait page and the
		bottom right corner of a landscape page.
staple=5		Put 2 staples on the right side of a portrait page or the
		bottom side of a landscape page printed on long-edge-
		feed paper. This command has no effect when the
		paper is fed from the short-edge side.
staple=6		Staple in the bottom right corner of a portrait page and
		the lower left corner of a landscape page.
staple=7		Put 2 staples on the top side of a portrait page or the
		right side of a landscape page printed on short-edge-
		feed large format (A3/Ledger) paper. This command
		has no effect when the paper is fed from the long-edge
		side or small paper size.
