How to Specify Printing Options

How to specify printing options differs depending on the print command. When you want to use the "rsh" command for printing from a UNIX workstation, for instance, enter a space after the print command, and then enter printing options without any break.

When specifying multiple printing options, use commas (,) to separate the settings.

Some of the printing options require a value to be specified with the option. In order to specify a value, enter a "=" symbol after the printing option name, and then immediately enter the value without a break.

When specifying only one printing option that does not include the "=" symbol, add a comma (,) to the beginning of the option.

Note

  • About how to use the print commands, see Connecting the Machine/ System Settings for details.

  • If the operating system you are using does not allow the use of the "=" symbol, use the "_" (underscore) symbol.

  • The number of characters that can be used to specify printing options is limited by the operating system, network environment, and machine functions.

  • Data may not print normally if you specify an incorrect printing option or a value that is outside the specifiable range.
