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.
Font Name Pitch
–s courier –p (1 to 100)
–scourier–bold –p (1 to 100)
–scourier–italic –p (1 to 100)
–scourier–bold italic
–p (1 to 100)
–sgothic –p (1 to 100)
–s gothic–bold –p (1 to 100)
–sgothic–italic –p (1 to 100)
–s lineprinter –p 17
Note: To format ASCII files for other font styles use the AIX
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 can be found in
/usr/lib/ps/fontmap. Valid point sizes are any integer from 1 to
1008.
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. Since
the Optra Color 1200 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).
