Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX 319
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 landscape orientation is “lp –o landscape filename”.
— Font Pitch
If the pitch is specified the net_est4511 program will always select the Courier font; otherwise
the default font is used. The following options are used to select the font pitch.
In all the cases shown above the Courier font will also be selected. When the pitch is changed
the font size will automatically be scaled to the appropriate size.
If this option is not specified, the default pitch and font will be used.
Example: The command to specify 8 characters per inch is “lp –o pitch=8 filename”.
— 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”.
— Pure Black and Pure Gray
