9.4 Restrictions and Limitations
Mode limitations:
• PM200 does not work with the 12–pitch (–p12) option.
Other limitations:
• No message is delivered before printing a job if the printer is powered off.
• PostScript emulation: the –w flag cannot be changed.
• Commands used in printer filters scripts do not take into account NLS environment
variables such as LOCPATH, NLSPATH for security reasons. Default values are used.
For example, the iconv command does not use LOCPATH but /usr/lib/nls/loc to
access converter files.
