Pcl5E Specific Options - Toshiba e-Studio 352 Printing Manual

7 Printing from UNIX
Font Pitch
If the pitch is specified the net_estbw program will always select the Courier font; otherwise the
default font is used. The following options are used to select the font pitch.
Option Value
c
10
12
pitch=value
In all the cases shown above the Courier font will also be selected. When the pitch is changed
the font size will automatically be scaled to the appropriate size.
If this option is not specified, the default pitch and font will be used.
Example: The command to specify 8 characters per inch is "lp -o pitch=8 filename".
Page Length
The number of lines to print on a page can be specified with the following option.
Option Value
pl=value
As this equipment is a page printer we cannot change the physical length of a piece of paper so
the actual effect of this command is to change the value for lines per inch so that the requested
number of lines is printed on the page. The actual page length may differ from this value if the
top margin or the text length option is used.
If this option is not specified the PJL command will not be sent so the printer's default value will
be used. The minimum page length allowable is 5. If value is less than 5 page length is set to 5.
The command to specify 66 lines per page is "lp -o pl=66 filename".
Halftone
The halftone can be selected using the following options.
Option Value
halftone=AUTO
halftone=DETAIL
halftone=
SMOOTH
Example: The command to set the auto halftone for the print job is
"lp -o halftone=AUTO filename"
