IBM Network Printer 12, 17, and 24

Product specific information for the printers and queue system is provided.

IBM® Network Printers can print on paper other than the default 8 1/2 by 11 inch size. The paper size can be changed using SMIT, see IBM Network Color Printer for detail information. To change paper size for a single print job, specify the -Q flag with the qprt command.

To print more lines per page than the line space allows (6 or 8 lines per inch), specify the number of lines per page. The line spacing is compressed to allow the larger number of lines to fit on a page. For example, if the line spacing is 6 lines per inch, entering the command qprt -l 66 FileName causes the file FileName to print at 66 lines per page instead of the default 60 lines per page.

The IBM Network Printer 12, 17, and 24 support the following fonts and pitches:

Allowed pitch values and fonts

courier	10, 12, or 17 pitch

lettergothic	10, 12, or 17 pitch
lettergothic-bold	10, 12, or 17 pitch
lettergothic-italic	10, 12, or 17 pitch
