Printing Guide — Printing from UNIX 321
— Top Margin
The top margin position can be specified with the following option.
If the top margin is set too high or too low part of the text may not appear due to the printer’s
unprintable region. The top margin will be ignored if it is set to a value greater than the printer’s
logical page length. Setting this value may affect the number of lines specified using the page
length option.
If this option is not specified the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be
used.
Example: The command to set the top margin to ten lines is “lp –o tm=10
filename ”.
— Text Length
The text length can be specified using the following options.
If the text length is set too high, the part of the text may not appear due to the printer’s unprint-
able area. The text length will be ignored if it is set to a value greater than the printer’s logical
page length minus the top margin. The text length is specified in rows from the top margin. Set-
ting this value may affect the number of lines specified using the page length option.
If this option is not specified the command will not be sent so the printer’s default value will be
used.
Example: The command to set the text length to 40 lines is “lp -o tl=40
filename ”.
— Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page contains the
following items. The banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job.
•
The name of the user that submitted the print job.
•
The job ID number and from which workstation it was submitted.
•
The title of the job. This title can be specified using the “-t” option. The same title is used for
every file within a job. The default title is controlled by the “lp” command.
•
A list of the options that were specified to print the job.
•
The number of copies of the job that will be printed.
•
The name of the printer or its IP address.
•
The date and time when the job was printed according to the print server.
•
A short summary listing the available options.
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job
are requested. The banner page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is never
stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
•
Copies = 1.
•
Stapling off.
•
Orientation = portrait.
•
Duplex off.
•
Paper size as requested by the “-o” parameter or the printer’s default value.
