Dell 3100cn Color Laser Printer User Manual page 135

If the same option is specified, or if s, S are both specified, the one specified later will prevail.
l
If the size option (s, S) is not specified, scaling will be executed taking one pixel of the image data as one pixel of the printer.
l
If the print position option (-l left bottom) specifies a point beyond the printable area of the printer, data beyond the printable area will not be printed.
l
Using tiff2ps2 (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)
There are four types of supported compression formats.
l
Huffman compression (CCITT Group 3 transformed Huffman run length encoding)
Fax-CCITT3 compression (facsimile-compatible CCITT Group 3)
PackBits compression
Non-compression
Even if the format is a supported format, the tiff that has multiple images in one file is not supported.
Using xwd2ps2 (Linux/Solaris/ HP-UX)
There are three types of supported compression formats.
l
The visual class is Static Gray and the pixel is 1 bit.
The visual class is Pseudo Color and the pixel is 4 bits or 8 bit. The image format is Zpixmap.
The visual class is True Color and the pixel is 24 bits. The image format is Zpixmap.
Using dellpsif (Linux)
Use the -ps option only when a PostScript file that contains no %! at the beginning of the file is used as the PostScript file. If a normal text file is input, it Use the -ps option only when a PostScript file that contains no %! at the beginning of the file is used as the PostScript file. If a normal text file is input, it
l l
will not function correctly.
-w, -l option usually correspond to pw, pl entry of /etc/printcap. However, this UX filter ignore pw, pl entry of /etc/printcap. So, the option cannot be
l
changed by each page size using pw, pl entry.
Printing PostScript Files (Linux/Solaris/ HP-UX)
If same options for the PostScript file that contains options, such as paper size, are specified using dellpsif (Linux) or the lp command (Solaris/HP-UX),
l
the specified option will be ignored.
Printing Image Files (Solaris)
To print image files from Solaris the user cannot specify the image file directly with the lp command for printing. Make use of sunras2ps2, tiff2ps2,
l
xwd2ps2 and convert the file to a PostScript file. Output it using the lp command after the conversion.
% xwd2ps2 file.xwd | lp
Double-sided Printing (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)
The printer without a optional duplex module is unable to do double-sided printing.
l
Header/footer Option (-Hd=position:format:page, -Hfheaderfont) (txt2ps2,sunras2ps2,tiff2ps2,xwd2ps2)
If the paper size is not specified when using options, it outputs the header/footer at the position of A4-size paper. To specify the paper size at the same
l
time to use header/footer option. (If the paper size for the PostScript file converted by using the option is specified by the option of lp command for
example, the position of the header and footer cannot be changed.)
The margin is specified automatically when the option is used. When the option to specify the margin is used at the same time, the value that is smaller
l
than the value specified automatically as follows is ignored.
In case of text files
Upper margin: 0.23 inch
Lower margin: 0.06 inch
Right margin: 0.03 inch
Left margin: 0.09 inch
In case of images
Lower margin: 0.3 inch
When using the option, the number of lines and the number of columns specified are ignored. Also, it is impossible to specify landscape and 2-column.
l
In case of the PostScript file, it happens that the printer doesn't output all pages despite that output all page is specified. In such a case, specify print the
l
only top page.
It's impossible to use lp command in Solaris.
