Media Type
The paper source can be selected using the following options to specify the media type.
Option Value
Alternate Value
mtype=Plain
mtype=
Transparency
mtype=Thick1
mtype=Thick2
mtype=Thick3
In PostScript, Deferred Media Selection is always turned on so the paper size has priority over the media type and the
paper source.
In PCL5e, the paper size always has priority over the media type and the paper source.
If this option is not specified, the default value will be used.
Example: The command to specify Thick1 media type is "lp -d <queuename> -o mtype=Thick1 <filename>".
Paper Source
The paper source can be selected using the following options.
Option Value
Alternate Value
auto-source
manual
drawer1
upper
cas1
drawer2
lower
cas2
drawer3
pedupper
cas3
drawer4
pedlower

lcf
tandem
In PostScript, Deferred Media Selection is always turned on so the paper size has priority over the paper source. In
PCL5e, the paper size always has priority over the paper source.
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 specify the drawer 1 paper source is "lp -d <queuename> - o drawer1 <filename>".
Duplexing
The current duplex mode can be specified using the following options.
Option Value
Alternate Value
simplex
duplex
lduplex
duplex_long
duplex=long
hduplex
sduplex
duplex_short
duplex=short
vduplex
If this option is not specified, the default value "simplex" will be used.
It is not necessary to specify duplexing for Booklet Mode (sduplex). Setting duplexing separately can override the booklet
mode setting for duplexing.
Example: The command to specify long edge duplexing is "lp -d <queuename> -o duplex <filename>".
