Specifying the Device Option
With the following options, you can print with specific printer functions.
Configuring the Device Option
The configuration of the print option can vary depending on the printing com-
mands.
• 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 with the form of “option=value”. For more infor-
mation about the types of device options and values, see the following explana-
tions.
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
