Specifying The Number Of Copies; Specifying Two-Sided Print Jobs; Specifying The Page Orientation - HP 9000 User Manual

Basic Printing Tasks
Specifying Attributes for HPDPS Print Jobs
Some attributes have additional flags that can be used to substitute for
the attribute name. For example, to print three copies of File1 you can
also use -n CopyCount flag and its value:
pdpr -n 3 File1
Refer to Chapter 3, "Command Reference" for a complete description of
all flags and more information on attribute value pairs.
NOTE The default attribute values described in the following tasks are the
values provided with HPDPS. Be aware that these defaults may have
been modified by your print administrator for your distributed print
environment.

Specifying the Number of Copies

Use -n CopyCount or -x copy-count=CopyCount with the pdpr
command to specify the number of document copies in a job that you
want to print. If you do not specify a copy count for your job, HPDPS
prints the default number of copies. For examples, see the previous
section.

Specifying Two-Sided Print Jobs

Use -x sides=2 with the pdpr command to specify two-sided
(duplexed) printing for your job. Duplexed jobs print on both sides of the
paper such that the top of each side is at the same edge of the paper. If
you do not specify the sides attribute, HPDPS applies the default value
for this attribute.
To submit file File1 to the default logical printer and specify duplexed
printing, enter:
pdpr -x "sides=2" File1

Specifying the Page Orientation

Use -x content-orientation=OrientationValue with the pdpr
command to specify the page orientation for your job. The two most
common page orientations are portrait and landscape. Portrait
orientation has the short edges of the printed page as the top and bottom
with the long edges as the sides. Landscape orientation rotates the page
90 degrees so that the long edges of the page are at the top and bottom. If
