Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX 311
NOTES: • The banner page is designed to fit Statement / A5 and bigger paper. If the paper
selected is smaller, the banner page may wrap onto two (2) pages.
• The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct
stacking order.
• When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
• The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different
values than the job’s paper source and media type. If a banner paper source is not
specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media type is not spec-
ified then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will
be used.
• If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally the
banner page may print to the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
Banner Options
The banner page can be printed using the following options.
The default value for this option is that the banner page prints first.
Banner Paper Source
The banner paper source can be specified using the following option.
If the banner paper source is not specified the PCL5e auto paper source command
“<esc>&l7H” will be sent. The banner page source cannot be set to manual feed. The
paper size always has priority over the paper source.
Example: The command to specify that the banner page paper source is the LCF is
“lp –o blcf filename”.
