Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming
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.
Font Name Pitch
–s courier –p (1 to 100)
–s courier–bold –p (1 to 100)
–s courier–italic
–p (1 to 100)
–s courier–bold italic
–p (1 to 100)
–s gothic –p (1 to 100)
–s gothic–bold –p (1 to 100)
–s gothic–italic –p (1 to 100)
–slineprinter –p 17
Note: To format ASCII 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 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.
Duplex Mode
The optional duplex feature is supported by the –Y flag of the qprt
command.
–Y 0 simplex
–Y 1 duplex, long–edge binding
–Y 2 duplex, short–edge binding
Collation and
Number of
Copiess
The Optra N printer supports collation of multiple copies of a print job
internally. This feature is controlled by the –W and –S flags of the
qprt command.
–S ! collation off
–S + collation on
–W # number of copies
Notes:
1. This function is independent of the –N flag of the qprt command.
The –N# flag causes the printer to send the job to the printer #
times. The –W# sends the print job once, and # copies of the job
are printed.
2. The function is limited by the amount of memory installed in the
printer and the size of the print job.
