302 Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX
In PostScript Deferred Media Selection is always turned on so the paper size has prior-
ity over the paper source. In PCL5e the paper size always has priority over the paper
source.
If this option is not specified the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value
will be used.
Example: The command to specify the LCF paper source is “lp – o lcf filename”.
— Duplexing
The current duplex mode can be specified using the following options.
If this option is not specified, the default value “simplex” will be used.
It is not necessary to specify duplexing for Booklet Mode (sduplex). Setting duplexing
separately can override the booklet mode setting for duplexing.
Example: The command to specify long edge duplexing is “lp –o duplex filename”.
— Paper Size
The current paper size can be specified using the following options.
