Printing Directly Using the Command Prompt

You can print directly by entering the LPR command in the command prompt.

When printing with LPR commands, print settings can be specified from both the control panel and the command prompt.

  • Specifying from the command prompt

You can specify LPR command settings with the P option, where each item is separated with an underscore ( _ ). The following commands are supported with this machine.


Item Command
Paper Size A4, A5, B5, LETTER, LEGAL
Layout SIMP (One-sided), DUPL (Two-sided/Long Edge), DUPS (Two-sided/Short Edge)
Copies C<Number of copies>.

Command example (with Paper Size as "A4," Layout as "DUPL," and Copies as "20"):

Input Example : lpr -S <IP Address> -P A4_DUPL_C20 <file name>


Remark
  • If settings have not been specified from the command prompt, settings specified with the control panel will be enabled.
  • When printing PS files using LPR commands from the command prompt, some data may take too long to process causing a timeout error. In such a case, the data may not be printed.

  • Specifying from the control panel

Settings that are applied to this printing method can be selected from the control panel.
