Item	Descriptor
Printing Color Files in PCL 5 Emulation Mode	To print color files, or any pre-formatted print job in PCL language, use the -dp flag of the qprt command. This sets the base operating system printer backend to passthrough mode and should be used any time you are printing from an application in PCL emulation. The print queue default can be changed to passthrough by modifying the _d attribute in the colon file.
Paper Source	Paper source selection is supported for both the PCL 5 emulation and the PostScript Language by using the -u flag of the qprt command. PCL PostScript -u 1 Top tray -u 1 Top tray -u 2 Bottom tray -u 2 Bottom tray -u 3 feeder -u 3 feeder
Paper Size	Paper size selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation by using the -Q flag of the qprt command. Paper Sizes Size -Q 1 Letter (default) -Q 2 Legal -Q 3 B5 -Q 4 A4 To change the default size, change the values for the s1-s3 attributes in the file. For example, to make A4 the default size for all paper sources, change s1, s2, and s3 to 4. This changes the top tray, bottom tray, and feeder tray sizes respectively.
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) -s lineprinter -p 17 Note: To format ASCII for other font styles, use the base operating system 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.
Collation	The Optra C 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 -S+ number of copies Note: This function is independent of the -N flag of the qprt command. The -N# flag will cause the print job to be sent to the printer # times. The -W# flag will send the print job once, and # copies of the job will be printed.
Separator Pages	The Optra C printer supports internally generated separator pages. This feature is controlled by the -E flag of the qprt command. -E 0 None -E 1 Between Copies -E 2 Between Jobs -E 3 Between Pages The paper source defaults to Feeder. To change the default, the uS attribute must be changed in the virtual printer. The valid values for uS are the same as the paper source flag. Note: This function is independent of the -B flag of the qprt command.
