Guide to Printers and Printing
Pitch Pitch selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation by using the –p
flag for pitch and the –s flag for font name (or type face) 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 –da flag to a PostScript queue with the
qprt command. 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 410 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
the –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 separator page source defaults
to TRAY 1 and is specified via the uS attribute. The valid values for uS
are the same as for header and trailer pages (uH and uT respectively),
except that the Manual Feeder is not supported. To change the
default, the uS attribute must be changed in the virtual printer to one of
the valid values (see the chvirprt command).
