Product specific information
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Page Rotation | Page rotation selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation
by using the -z flag of the qprt command.
|
| Paper Source | Paper source selection is supported for both the enhanced
PCL 5 emulation and the PostScript Level 2 emulation by using the -u flag
of the qprt command.
The input source number is the same for both PCL and PostScript:
By default, the banner and trailer pages come from the top tray. To change the default, change the values for the uH and/or uT attributes respectively in the colon file to the value for the desired paper source. The valid values are the same as for the -u flag. Do this by editing the virtual printer colon file by using the chvirprt command. |
| Paper Size | Paper size selection is supported by using -O and -Q flags
of the qprt command.
The -O flag controls paper versus envelope. A -O value
of 3 indicates a paper size and 4 an envelope size.
To change the defaults, change the s1, s3 attribute values in the lexOptraE310.pcl colon file. The default for paper size is 1 or letter, and the default for envelopes is 3 or Com 10. The letter value is the else part (%e1) of the s1 and s3 attributes, and the envelope is the then part (%t3). |
| Paper Type | The Optra E310 printer supports paper types ROUGH, NORMAL (default),
TRANSPARENCY, LABELS, and CARDSTOCK via the -y parameter
to the qprt command,
or the -y attribute in the colon file. The values to the -y option
are 1 through 5 respectively for the above types.
Note: These values do not apply to envelopes.
|
| Pitch | Pitch selection is supported for the PCL 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.
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 is located in /usr/lib/ps/fontmap. Valid
point sizes are any integer from 1 to 1008.
Only a pitch of 17 is supported for the lineprinter font style. |
| Number of Copies for Each Page | The -W flag of the qprt command
controls how many copies of each page is printed. The default is 1
copy, and the maximum value is 999.
Example: If a three-page job is submitted with -W2 on the qprt command, then two copies of page 1 followed by two copies of page 2 followed by two copies of page 3 will occur in that order. |
