3. Printing
300 Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX
If this option is not specified, the printer’s default value will be used.
Example: The command to staple in the upper left corner of a long edge feed portrait
page is “lp –o staple=1 filename”.
The value for the stapling position depends on the paper size, the paper feed direction,
and the print direction. This function is not available for all paper sizes and the users
should refer to the copier manual for a list of compatible paper sizes. In particular, A5,
A6 and statement paper sizes will not work with this function.
— Output Bin
The output bin can be specified using the following options.
If the finisher option is not installed on the equipment, the default output tray will be
used (inner). If the finisher option is installed on the equipment, the default output tray
will be used (bin2).
Example: The command to specify output bin 1 is “lp –o bin1 filename”.
— Hole Punching
When the hole punch option is installed it can be activated using the following option.
staple=4 Staple in the top right corner of a portrait page and the
bottom right corner of a landscape page.
staple=5 Put 2 staples on the right side of a portrait page or the

the lower left corner of a landscape page.
staple=7 Put 2 staples on the top side of a portrait page or the
