Output Bin
The output bin can be specified using the following options.
If the Finisher (optional) is not installed on the equipment, the default output tray will be used (inner). If the Finisher
(optional) is installed on the equipment, the default output tray will be used (bin2).
Example: The command to specify output bin 1 is “lp -o bin1 <filename>”.
Hole Punching
This sets whether a print job is printed with hole punches. When the hole punch option is installed it can be activated using
the following option.
If this option is not specified, the default value of “nopunch” will be used.
This function is not available for all paper sizes and the users should refer to the Copying Guide for a list of compatible
paper sizes. In particular, A5, A6 and statement paper sizes will not work with this function.
Example: The command to hole punch the long edge feed portrait page is “lp -o punch=1 <filename>”.
Media Type
The paper source can also be selected using the media type using the following option.
In PostScript Deferred Media Selection is always turned on so the paper size has priority over the media type and the
paper source.
In PCL5e the paper size always has priority over the media type and the paper source.
If this option is not specified, the default value will be used.
Example: The command to specify Thick1 media type is “lp -o mtype=Thick1 <filename>”.
