Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming
Pitch Pitch selection is supported for the PCL emulation by using the –p flag for
pitch and the –s flag for font name (or type face). Pitch values between 1
and 100 characters per inch (cpi) in whole integers are supported. The
condensed print flag, –K, is not supported.

Note: To format ASCII files for other font styles use the base operating
system enscript utility or the –da flag to a Postscript queue with the qprt
command. Also, only a pitch of 17 is supported for the lineprinter font
style.
Only a pitch of 17 is supported for the lineprinter font style.
Collation Normally, the –N command line option is used to specify the number of
copies desired. This method will cause that many copies of the entire print
job to be submitted or queued to the print system. Because the Optra K
1220 supports collation internally, options were added to support it and the
number of copies of each page internally. This functionality is limited by the
amount of memory installed in your printer and the size of the job. The
–W# option determines how many copies of each page is desired, where #
is the number of copies. The –S [!/+] option controls whether collation is
desired. The default is ! (or not). The main advantages of using the –W and
–S options are to conserve printer subsystem usage and allow the printer
to handle multiple copies instead of sending # copies to the printer. Using
the –S! options with –W# also allows # copies of each page in a row, if that
is desired. Note that using –N and –W simultaneously is allowed. This
would result in –N print jobs with –W copies of each page in each job.
Separator
Pages
The –E flag controls separator pages. The valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 3
which represent NONE, BETWEENCOPIES, BETWEENJOBS, and
BETWEENPAGES respectively. The paper source for separator pages is
set via the colon file attribute uS and defaults to TRAY 1. The valid values
for uS are the same as uH and uT, except manual feed is not a valid
source for separator pages. To change the default the uS attribute must be
changed in the virtual printer to one of the valid values (see paper source
above).
