310 Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX
General Options
The following options apply to all print files.
— Print Language
The “net_est4511” or “net_estbw” program needs to know what printer language is used in each
of the files that it is printing so that it can issue the correct commands to select various options.
The following options are valid for the print languages.
All PCL5e jobs automatically send the “<esc>&k2G” command to convert the line-feed charac-
ter into a carriage-return – line-feed sequence. If the PCL5e job contains some of its own escape
sequences it may override this setting.
The default print language is “auto”.
Example: The command to specify that a file is PostScript is “lp –o ps filename”.
— Color Mode
The color mode can be specified using the following option.
If this option is not specified, the default color mode will be used (color).
Example: The command to specify color mode is “lp –o color filename”.
— Stapling
The staple position can be specified using the following option.

PCL6 file.

all the necessary commands. The file is sent to the printer with-
