How to Specify Printing Options

How to specify printing options differs depending on the command used for printing. 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.

For example, to switch to RTIFF, feed paper from paper input location 1, set the print quantity to 3, and print an image in the center of the printable area, you would enter the command as follows:

% rsh "hostname" print filetype=RTF,tray=1,copies=3,center < "tiff-filename"

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 "=", use "_" (underscore).

  • The number of characters that can be used to specify printing options is limited to 1,023 bytes. However, it may be less depending on the environment, such as operating system, network environment and applications.

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