Configuring the Device Option

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.

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 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).

ftp
ftp> put file1 filetype=postscript,tray=tray1,copies=3,resolution=600

Multiple options must be separated by commas (,). Do not use spaces.
When the printing file contains the PostScript commands control of the option, the command takes priority.
Enter the option using the lp or lpr command, when the shell script is implemented.
The option settings made here are configured as default. You must create another printer if you want to change printer option settings. For details about changing the configured option, see Executing the Installation Shell Script.
When printing with the lp command, use ( _ ) instead of ( = ) and ( ; ) instead of ( , ) for operating systems that cannot use ( = ) and ( , ) such as Solaris 2.5 or later.
