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
