 Generic "lp" and "lptap" options
 How to print files
Enter the following "Ip" command to print files with the specified printer:
lp -d <queuename> <filename>
 Copies
The number of copies of a print job is specified using the "-n <value>" parameter with the "lp" command. The default value
is determined by the "lp" command and it is always 1. The copies are always collated.
 Title
The title that is printed on the banner page can be specified using the "-t <title>" parameter with the "lp" command. The
default value is determined by the "lp" command and it is often the name of the print file. If multiple files are printed using
the same "lp" command the default title is set to the name of the first file by the "lp" command.
 General options
The options below are applied to all print jobs that this equipment handles.
 Option commands are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.
 Some printing functions may be disabled depending on the combinations of option commands because priority is
given to the specifications of this equipment over option commands.
 Print Language
The "net_estcolor" 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.
Option Value Alternate Value
auto
pcl
postscript ps
raw
All PCL5e jobs automatically send the "<esc>&k2G" command to convert the line-feed character 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>".
Description
Each file to be printed is examined to see if it starts with
the "%!" sequence. If it does, then it is assumed that it is
a PostScript file, otherwise it assumes that it is a plain
text or a PCL6 file.
The print file is always treated as a plain text or a PCL6
file.
The file is always treated as a PostScript file.
The file is treated as a fully formatted file that already
contains all the necessary commands. The file is sent to
the printer without any modifications. In this mode no
other options are valid and a banner page is not printed.
