4 PRINTING FROM UNIX
Page Length
The number of lines to print on a page can be specified with the following option.
As this equipment is a page printer we cannot change the physical length of a piece of paper so the actual effect of this
command is to change the value for lines per inch so that the requested number of lines is printed on the page. The actual
page length may differ from this value if the top margin or the text length option is used.
If this option is not specified the PJL command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be used. The minimum
page length allowable is 5. If value is less than 5, page length is set to 5.
The command to specify 66 lines per page is “lp -o pl=66 filename”.
Color Mode
The color mode for printing mode can be selected using the following options.
Example: The command to set the color mode for the print job is
“lp -o colormode=COLOR filename”
Pure Black and Pure Gray
The pure black and pure gray mode can be selected using the following options.
Example: The command to set the pure black and pure gray mode for the print job is
“lp -o pureblackgray=1 filename”
