Pitch Pitch selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation by using the –p flag
for pitch and the –s flag for font name with the qprt command. 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 for other font styles, use the base operating
system enscript utility or the qprt command with the –da, –s, and –p
flags to a PostScript queue. For postscript queues, –p stands for point
size and the valid list of fonts are located in /usr/lib/ps/fontmap. Valid
point sizes are any integer from 1 to 1008.
Also, only a pitch of 17 is supported for the lineprinter font style.
Number of
Copies for
Each Page
The –W flag allows the user to control how many copies of each page is
produced by the printer itself. For example, if a three–page job is
submitted with the –W flag of the –qprt command, then 2 copies of page
one, followed by 2 copies of page two, followed by 2 copies of page three
will be printed. The default value is 1, and the maximum value is 999.
