Print parameters

For Multiplatforms servers, use to specify printing parameters for the server print manager. When a user selects to print a document on a server printer, Content Manager OnDemand sends the printing parameters and the document to the server print manager. You can specify a maximum of 1024 bytes.

For example, with PSF, you can use the -o flag is used to send printing parameters. The syntax is:

-okeyword1=value -okeyword2=value2 -okeyword3=value3 ...

You can specify any valid -o flag keyword and value. For example, you can use -o flags to specify the type of the input data stream, the user information that PSF prints on header, separator, and trailer pages, whether the output prints simplex, duplex, or tumble duplex, the form definition that defines the placement of data on the page, and for S/390 line data or ASCII data, the page definition that determines font selections, print direction, and so forth.

The following example shows a set of keywords and values that can be used by PSF to print or FAX line data documents. The example shows the standard PSF page and form definitions for 8.5 inch by 11 inch cut sheet pages with a portrait orientation. The input data contains ANSI carriage control characters encoded in EBCDIC.

-odatatype=line -occ=yes -occtype=a -otrc=no -ofileformat=record

-opagedef=P1A06462 -opdeflib=/usr/lpp/psf/reslib

-oformdef=F1A10110 -osrchfdeflib=/usr/lpp/psf/reslib

See your PSF documentation for details about the valid keywords and values that you can specify when sending documents to a printer managed by PSF.
