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 (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.
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–bolditalic
–p (1 to 100)
–s gothic –p (1 to 100)
–s gothic–bold –p (1 to 100)
–s gothic–italic –p (1 to 100)
–s lineprinter –p 17
Note: To format ASCII for other font styles, use the AIX 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.
Duplex Mode
The qprt command line option –Y supports this.
0 simplex operation
1 duplex, long edge binding
2 duplex, short edge binding
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 Se 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.
