4.PRINTING FROM UNIX/Linux
Banner Page
A banner page is automatically generated for each file in each job. The banner page is always sent as a PCL5e job,
including the following items.
Name of the user who performed printing
Job ID number and workstation name from which the job was sent
Job title (This can be specified using the "-t" option. The same title controlled by the "lp" command is normally applied
to each job.)
Option specified when printing was performed
Number of printed sheets
Name of the printer and its IP address
Date and time
Only one copy of the banner page is printed for each file, even if a number of copies of the job are requested. The banner
page is sent to the equipment as a separate sub-job so that it is never stapled to the document.
The banner page is printed with the following settings.
Copies = 1.
Stapling off.
Hole punching off.
Orientation = portrait.
Duplex off.
Paper size as requested by the "-o" parameter or the printer's default value.
The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job's paper source
and media type.
Auto paper source selection or the requested banner page source or media type.
Output bin as requested by the "-o" parameter or the printer default value.
6 lines per inch
Auto-wrap on.
Automatic carriage-return when a line-feed is sent.
The banner page is designed to fit the paper bigger than Statement / A5.
The banner page uses the default paper size if paper is set to:
- Statement
- A5
- A6
- B5
- Postcard
The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stacking order.
When the language is set to "raw" the banner is always disabled.
The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to values different than the job's paper source
and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media
type is not specified, then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer's default value will be used.
If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally, the banner page may printed to
the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
Hole punching cannot be applied to banner pages.
