4 PRINTING FROM UNIX/Linux

‰Collate

The collate option can be selected using the following options.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
collate=off	OFF	Cancel the collate printing mode.
collate=on	ON	Set the collate printing mode.

If this option is not specified, the default value of “collate=on” will be used.

Example: The command to select collate off is “lp -d <queuename> -o collate=off <filename>”.

‰Orientation

The following orientation options are available.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
portrait		Print the document in portrait orientation.
landscape		Print the document in landscape orientation.

If this option is not specified, the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be used. Example: The command to specify landscape orientation is “lp -d <queuename> -o landscape <filename>”.

‰Font Pitch

If the pitch is specified, the net_estbw program will always select the Courier font; otherwise the default font is used. The following options are used to select the font pitch.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
c	pitch=16.67	Set the character pitch to 16.67 characters per inch.
10	pitch=10	Set the character pitch to 10 characters per inch.
12	pitch=12	Set the character pitch to 12 characters per inch.
pitch=value		Set the character pitch to value characters per inch.

In all the cases shown above, the Courier font will also be selected. When the pitch is changed, the font size will automatically be scaled to the appropriate size.

If this option is not specified, the default pitch and font will be used.

Example: The command to specify 8 characters per inch is “lp -d <queuename> -o pitch=8 <filename>”.

‰Page Length

The number of lines to print on a page can be specified with the following option.

Option Value	Alternate Value	Description
pl=value		Set the lines per page to value.

As this equipment is a page printer, we cannot change the physical length of a piece of paper so the actual effect of this command is to change the value for lines per inch so that the requested number of lines is printed on the page. The actual page length may differ from this value if the top margin or the text length option is used.

If this option is not specified, the PJL command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be used. The minimum page length allowable is 5. If value is less than 5, page length is set to 5.

The command to specify 66 lines per page is “lp -d <queuename> -o pl=66 <filename>”.
