OTHER PRINTING METHODS
 The banner page is designed to fit the paper bigger than Statement / A5.
The banner page uses the default paper size if paper is set to:
-Statement
-A5
-A6
-B5
-J Post Card
- J Double Post Card
 The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stacking order.
 When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
 The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to values different than the job’s paper source
and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media
type is not specified, then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
 If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally, the banner page may printed to
the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
 Hole punching cannot be applied to banner pages.
Banner Options
The banner page can be printed using the following options.
The default value for this option is that the banner page is printed first.
Example: The command to printing the banner page after the job is “lp -o banner=last <filename>”.
Banner Paper Source
The banner paper source can be specified using the following option.
If the banner paper source is not specified the PCL5e auto paper source command “<esc>&l7H” will be sent. The
banner page source cannot be set to manual feed. The paper size always has priority over the paper source.
Example: The command to specify that the banner page paper source is the Large Capacity Feeder is “lp -o blcf
<filename>”.
