Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming

Note: This function is independent of the –B flag of the qprt

command.

Output Bin The equal sign (=) is the command line option for specifying the

output destination. Valid values are:

printer top bin

finisher bin 1

finisher bin 2

finisher bin 3

printer side bin

The printer top bin or 0 is the default value for the output bin.

Note: If the printer side bin is selected and the finisher option is

installed, the output will go to the active bin.

Faceup or

Facedown

The –U option controls whether paper is output faceup or facedown

for the finisher.

Note: The printer top bin is always facedown. A value of + or true

indicates facedown and is the default. A value of ! or false indicates

faceup. If faceup is selected the staples (–y) and job offset (–e) are

ignored.

Staples The –y option controls whether staples are desired or not. Only

certain paper sizes are supported for each of the values for this flag.

Also, there are several rules about output quantities and destinations.

See your printer documentation for details on all the possibilities. The

valid values are:

no staples (default)

one staple (top left)

two staples (left side)

Job Offset The –e flag controls whether offsetting the first page of each job in the

finisher bin is desired. The first page is offset toward the front of the

finisher by 1.7 inches. The offset function is ignored if staples are not

off. Separator sheets may be selected independently of offset. The

valid values are:

job offset ON

job offset OFF (default)
