Paper Size
Paper size selection is supported by using the qprt command flags,
–O and –Q. The –O flag controls paper versus envelope. A –O value
of 3 indicates a paper size and 4 an envelope size. The values 1 and
2 were skipped for backward compatibility. The first five paper sizes
are also numbered for backward compatibility. Whenever an invalid
value for the input source is selected, it will be ignored.
Note: Envelopes are available through Manual and MP Tray only.
The default for –O is 3 or paper. The default for –Q is 1 or Letter for
paper sizes and Monarch for envelope sizes.
Paper Sizes (–0 3)
Envelope Sizes (–0 4)
–Q 1 Letter 7 3/4 Monarch
–Q 2 Legal 9 (Com 9)
–Q 3 B5 10 (Com 10)
–Q 4 A4 DL
–Q 5 A5 C5
–Q 6 B4 B5 Envelope
–Q 7 A3 Other Envelope
–Q 8 11 X 17 –
Note: The printer file (lexOptraC1200.pcl) for PCL 5 defaults the
paper size to letter. To change the default size, change the values
for the s0–s3 attributes in the file respectively for the _u (paper
source) attributes. For example, to make legal the default size for
tray 2 change the s2 attribute value to 2.
SPECIAL NOTE: For PCL queues, if the selected size is not in
the selected input source, a search sequence will be used to find
the size requested. If the size is found that source will be used.
For PostScript queues, if the selected size is not in the selected
input source, the printer will prompt the user to load the source
with the appropriate size. This may result in an unexpected paper
source being used or an op–panel message that may not make
sense at first. Please refer to the manual to determine appropriate
responses.
