Paper Source Paper source selection is supported for both the enhanced PCL (R) 5 emulation and the PostScript Level 2 emulation by using the -u flag of the qprt command. There are several optional input sources (see your manual to determine which are installed). These numbers apply, no matter which ones are present. If one is not present, choosing one of those will simply default as per the user's manual. The input source number is the same for both PCL and PostScript:
-u 0
manual feed
-u 1
tray 1
-u 2
tray 2
-u 3
tray 3
-u 4
tray 4

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 with the chvirprt command.

Paper Size Paper size selection is supported by using the -Q flag of the qprt command. The first five paper sizes are also numbered for backward compatibility. Whenever an invalid value for the input source is selected, it will be ignored.

The default for -O is 3 or paper. The default for -Q is 1 or Letter for paper sizes and Monarch for envelope sizes.

To change the defaults, change the s0 -s5 attributes respectively for each of the valid input valids. The default paper size is the else part (%e1).

Note:
  1. Manual Feed and Tray 1 support sizes -Q 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (Letter, Legal, B4, A4, Executive, A5, B4, A3, 11x17, Universal).
  2. Trays 2, 3, and 4 support sizes -Q 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 (Letter, Legal, A4, B4, A3, 11x17).
  3. The printer (and this colon file) defaults paper size to letter for the US and A4 for Europe.
  4. An invalid paper size value for the selected input source will cause an error to be reported.
  5. If the selected size is not in the selected input source, either wrong size or empty, a search sequence will be used to find the size requested. See the printer manual for assistance
Pitch Pitch selection is supported for the PCL 5 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.
Font Name

-s courier
-p (1 to 100)
-s courier-bold

-s courier-italic
-p (1 to 100)

-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 can be found 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.
Duplex Mode The optional duplex feature is supported by the -Y flag of the qprt command. The default value is 0 or simplex mode.
-Y 0
simplex
-Y 1
duplex, long edge binding
-Y 2
duplex, short edge binding
Collation and Number of copies The optra W810 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
-W#
number of copies
Note:
  1. 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.
  2. The function is limited by the amount of memory installed in the printer and the size of the print job.
Separator Pages The printer supports internally generated separator pages. This feature is controlled by the -E flag of the qprt command.
-E0
None
-E1
Between Copies
-E2
Between Jobs
-E3
