- 74 -
Collate
The collate option can be selected using the following options.
f this option is not specified, the default value of “collate=on”
will be used.
Example: The command to select collate off is “lp -o collate=off
<filename>”.
Orientation
The following orientation options are available.
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
-o landscape <filename>”.
Font Pitch
If the pitch is specified the net_estcolor program will always
select the Courier font; otherwise the default font is used. The
following options are used to select the font pitch.
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 -
o pitch=8 <filename>”.
Page Length
The number of lines to print on a page can be specified with the
following option.
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 after 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, the page length is
set to 5.
The command to specify 66 lines per page is “lp -o pl=66
<filename>”.
Color Mode
This sets whether a print job is printed in color, mono, or twin
color. The color mode for printing mode can be selected using
the following options.
Example: The command to set the color mode for the print job
is “lp -o colormode=COLOR <filename>”
