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 -u 1 manual feed -u 2 top tray -u 3 bottom tray 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 (s1-s3). Use the lsvirprt command.
Paper Size	Paper size selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation by using the -Q and -O flags of the qprt command. A value of 3 for the -O flag indicates paper and a value of 4 indicates envelope. Envelopes are not valid in tray 2. Paper Sizes (-0 3) Envelope Sizes (-0 4) -Q 1 Letter 7 3/4 Monarch -Q 2 Legal 9 (Com 9) -Q 3 B5 paper 10 (Com 10) -Q 4 A4 DL -Q 5 Executive C5 -Q 6 A5 B5 Envelope -Q 7 Other Envelope Note: The printer file (optra_e.pcl) for PCL 5 defaults the paper size to letter. 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.
Paper Type	The Optra E printer supports paper types: rough, normal (default), transparency, labels, and cardstock using the -y parameter of the qprt command or the _y attribute in the colon file. -y 1 Rough -y 2 Normal (default) -y 3 Transparency -y 4 Labels -y 5 Cardstock Note: These values apply only to paper and not envelopes.

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.

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.
Number of Copies for Each Page	The -W flag allows the user to control how many copies of each page is produced by the printer itself. For example, if a three-page job is submitted with the -W flag of the -qprt command, then 2 copies of page one, followed by 2 copies of page two, followed by 2 copies of page three will be printed. The default value is 1, and the maximum value is 999.
