Specifying the Device Option
With the following options, you can print with specific printer functions.
This manual covers all models, and therefore contains functions and settings
that may not be available for your model.
Configuring the Device Option
Important
❒ The optional character strings the printer can recognize contain a maximum
of 512 bytes.
❒ The number of available characters used as options is limited, depending on
operating systems.
The configuration of the print option varies, depending on printing commands.
•rsh
% rsh host_name print option1=value1,... < file_name
•rcp
% rcp file_name host_name:option1=value1,...
•ftp
ftp> put file_name option1=value1,...
Host_name is the printer host name. File_name is the file name you want to print.
The device option is specified in the form of “option=value”. For details about
types of device options and values, see the following explanations.
For example, the following settings are for printing with rsh, rcp, and ftp : switch
to PostScript, feed paper from paper feed tray 1, set the printing amount to 3 sets,
and print with the resolution set to 600 dpi (host_name :nphost, file_name :file1).
•rsh
% rsh nphost print filetype=postscript,tray=tray1,cop-
ies=3,resolution=600 < file1
•rcp
% rcp file1 nphost:filetype=postscript,tray=tray1,cop-
ies=3,resolution=600
•ftp
ftp> put file1 filetype=postscript,tray=tray1,cop-
ies=3,resolution=600
