Paper Source
The paper source can be selected using the following options.
In PostScript Deferred Media Selection is always turned on so the paper size has priority over
the paper source. In PCL5e the paper size always has priority over the paper source.
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 the LCF paper source is “lp - o lcf filename”.
Duplexing
The current duplex mode can be specified using the following options.
If this option is not specified, the default value “simplex” will be used.
It is not necessary to specify duplexing for Booklet Mode (sduplex). Setting duplexing separately
can override the booklet mode setting for duplexing.
Example: The command to specify long edge duplexing is “lp -o duplex filename”.
