❒ The optional character strings the printer can recognize contain a maximum
of 512 bytes.
❒ The number of available characters used as options is limited, depending on
operating systems.
The configuration of the print option varies, depending on printing commands.
• 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 in the form of "option=value". For details about
types of device options and values, see the following explanations.

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).
