Dell 3100cn Color Laser Printer - Manual (Page 134)

l To install UX filter into the default directory (/usr/local/dellbin3100cn), it's necessary to create /usr/local directory in advance.
HP-UX
l The printer to specify as an output printer must be registered in your system. To register an output printer, use sam command and so on. See the HP-UX
related manual for details.

During Printing
Pay attention to the following points during printing.
Using lp/lpr Command (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)
l If an option is specified incorrectly, no error message will be output. If printing is not executed after the lp command is executed, activate each utility
individually and error messages will be output.
(Using Solaris, the error message is displayed on the screen. Using Linux, the error message is written into the error log file specified by printcap.)
l In text printing, the environmental variable TXT2PS2OPTION will be ignored.
l In text printing, if a BS code is found at the beginning of a line, the print position of the next character will be on the left of the beginning of the line.
l In text printing, when there are multiple tab codes in one line, the positions of tab may be off due to automatic line feed. If this happens, specify l or w
option.
l In text printing, the number of columns specified by the w option does not reflect the number of characters actually printed. The actual number of single-
byte characters to be printed is derived by deducting the output column position (out columns) specified by the o option from the number of columns
specified by the w option.
l If the same option is specified, or if s, S are both specified, the one specified later will prevail.
l In printing images, If the print position option (l) specifies an area beyond the printable area of the printer, data beyond the printable area will not be
printed. (Using Solaris, It's impossible to output images by lp command.)
Using txt2ps2 (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)
l When the same option is specified twice, the later setting will prevail. As TXT2PS2OPTION is analyzed before the option of the command line, it is possible
to temporarily modify the options already set in TXT2PS2OPTION by inputting at the command line
l The default output of txt2ps2 cannot output the comment description (%%page:m n)of the page number. This is because the converted PostScript
language program controls line feed and form feed. Thus, when the output of txt2ps2 is to be taken as the output of another application (psrev of
TRANSCRIPT
, etc.), add the page number description by inserting the line command (-Ilines).
l If a BS code is found at the beginning of a line, the print position of the next character will be on the left of the beginning of a line.
l When there are multiple tab codes in one line, the positions of tab may be off due to automatic line feed. If this happens, specify the -l or -w option.
l The number of columns specified by the -w option does not reflect the number of characters actually printed. The actual number of single-byte characters
to be printed is derived by deducting the output column position (out columns) specified by the o option from the number of columns specified by the w
option.
l The -mg option cannot be specified when -w, -l, -o, and -L option are specified.
l The start positions of margins of the margin command (-mg=u:b:r:l) are not set against the edge of paper. The margins are set against the printable
area for paper allowed by the printer.
l 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
will not function correctly.
l To use the same options as those of the dellpsif filter by TXT2PS2OPTION, set the user's home directory in the environmental variable HOME. If the
environmental variable HOME is not set up, the same options as those of the dellpsif filter cannot be used. (Linux)
