Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0
● Otherwise, the content type is set to COMPATIBLE.
If you are printing more than one document, then the content type than is deter-
mined for the first document will be used for all the other documents in the job.
3.4.3 Creating printouts with special formats
Usually, a printer is not only capable of printing data on paper but can also do
this in different formats. Therefore Xprint V7.0 also allows you to influence the
formatting by specifying font settings, the page format, and the character set to
be used.
Printing a document with different font settings
The following options allow you to change the default font for a printout. What
you can modify depends on the printer you use. If you use the xpshow -pcl
command and specify the PCL set for the selected printer, you can display a list
of the fonts, styles, character pitches etc. that are supported by the printer, e.g.:
xpshow -pcl HP-LASERJET -di LONG.
A font always consists of several components such as typeface, style or
font size. You can override these at any time, for example by modifying
the font size.
If you often want to print with such customized settings, you can also
define a special job template for this purpose. For more detailed infor-
mation see section “Defining customized job templates” on page 46.
-tp typeface
This option selects the specified typeface for the print job. Printers are
supplied with a number of predefined typefaces. A list of the typefaces
available for your printer under Xprint V7.0 can be displayed using the
command
xpshow -pcl -di LONG.
-cs character_style
You can choose between two character styles: STRAIGHT and ITALICS.
The default is STRAIGHT.
-hm horizontal_motion
The value horizontal_motion specifies the number of characters printed
horizontally per inch.
