The PRINT command accepts the /PARAMETERS qualifier to specify functions
unique to printing on PostScript printers with HP DECprint Supervisor for
OpenVMS software.
Format:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(parameter[,...]) file-spec
If you specify only one parameter, you can omit the parentheses. If you
specify two or more parameters, separate them with commas and enclose the
set in parentheses.
If you specify a parameter that contains special characters or delimiters,
enclose the parameter in double quotation marks (" ").
If the value associated with a parameter contains delimiters, such as
commas or parentheses, enclose the value (or the entire parameter) in
double quotation marks.
The following examples are valid notations:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(PAGE_SIZE=A,SHEET_SIZE=A4) file-spec
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(PAGE_LIMIT="(1,4)",MESSAGES="(PRINT,KEEP)") file-spec
1 – DATA_TYPE
DATA_TYPE=data-type-name
Specifies which translator, if any, the print symbiont invokes.
Data-type-name can be ANSI, ASCII (same as ANSI), AUTOMATIC,
DDIF (bitonal image subset only), PCL, REGIS, TEK4014, POSTSCRIPT,
or PROPRINTER. If the data-type-name is POSTSCRIPT, no translator
is invoked.
If you do not specify DATA_TYPE, it defaults to AUTOMATIC. With
AUTOMATIC, the data type of the file is determined by the file
extension and the contents of the file.
1.1 – AUTOMATIC[=initial-data-type]
Specifies the automatic detection of the file's data type. The
initial-data-type specifies the data type at the start of the
file. This is useful if the file contains PostScript data after
ANSI, PCL, or Proprinter data. AUTOMATIC is the default method
for printing files. The default initial-data-type is ANSI.
1.2 – ANSI
Specifies that the file to be printed is an ANSI file. The file
is translated to PostScript for printing on the PostScript printer.
ANSI refers to the DIGITAL ANSI-Compliant PPL3 printing protocol.
Your print file is assumed to be ANSI unless you specify that it
is PostScript.
1.3 – DDIF
Specifies that the file to be printed is a DDIF bitonal image file.
DDIF (DIGITAL Document Interchange Format) is used to encode graphic
images. Other types of DDIF-encoded data, including grayscale images,
color images,and text, are ignored.
1.4 – LIST
Specifies that the file to be printed is a simple ASCII file. The
file is translated to PostScript for printing on the PostScript
printer. The LIST translator numbers each line of text, creates
alternating bars of gray and white in the background, and creates
a running head of the file name and page number.
1.5 – PCL
Specifies that the file to be printed is a PCL file; that is, the
file was generated for printing on a printer that supports the
Hewlett-Packard Printing Control Language.
If your print job contains one or more of the following print
parameters, or DCPS does not support your printer in PCL mode, then
the file is translated to PostScript for printing:
/PARAMETERS=LAYUP_DEFINITION
/PARAMETERS=NUMBER_UP
/PARAMETERS=SHEET_COUNT
/PARAMETERS=PAGE_LIMIT
The translator assumes the file was generated for printing on the
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IID printer.
If your print job does not contain any of the previous print
parameters, and DCPS supports your printer in PCL mode, the file
is printed in the printer's PCL mode.
1.6 – PROPRINTER
Specifies that the file to be printed is a Proprinter file; that
is, the file was generated for printing on an IBM Proprinter
device. The file is translated to PostScript for printing on the
PostScript printer. Specifically, the translator assumes the
file was generated for printing on a Proprinter XL24 printer.
1.7 – REGIS
Specifies that the file to be printed is a ReGIS graphics file.
The file is translated to PostScript for printing on the
PostScript printer.
1.8 – TEKTRONIX
Specifies that the file to be printed was generated for printing
on a TEKTRONIX 4010/4014 device. The file is translated to
PostScript for printing on the PostScript printer.
2 – FONTS_USED
FONTS_USED=font_module(s)
Allows you to load fonts that emulate LN03 and DEClaser font cartridges
when you are printing ANSI files. Font modules are available in
SoftFont kits, a separate DIGITAL product, now retired and no longer
available.
The following command displays a list of font modules available on your
system:
$ LIBRARY /LIST /TEXT SYS$LIBRARY:CPS$ANSI_FONTS
3 – INPUT_TRAY
INPUT_TRAY=tray-name
Selects the input tray that provides media on which to print the job.
Since some trays are optional, not all trays are available on all
printers of a particular model.

4 – LAYUP_DEFINITION
LAYUP_DEFINITION=layup-definition-filename
LAYUP_DEFINITION="(option;...)"
Specifies layup options or a layup definition file that sets
the layup features. Layup features are borders, sheet margins,
alternating margins, pages per sheet, first page, page order,
and page grid.
Layup definition files are located in DCPS$LAYUP: and have the
file type LUP. Do not specify the file type when you specify
the layup definition file in the command line.
To use a layup option and NUMBER_UP together, you must specify
both on the command line or associate both with a queue.
4.1 – Options
Layup options allow you to specify the number of pages to
print on each sheet of paper, their position on a sheet, the
size of margins and whether borders are printed. The layup
options and the syntax for specifying values is as follows:
ALTERNATE=[LEFT|RIGHT|TOP|BOTTOM]
[NO]BORDERS
FIRSTPAGE=n
GRID=columns,rows
MARGINS=t,b,l,r
PAGEORDER=
PAGESPERSHEET=n
You can specify layup options in either a layup definition
file, or in-line as part of the PRINT command.
4.2 – In-line
You can specify layup definition options in your command line
by enclosing them in parentheses and separating them with
semi-colons. You must also enclose the entire layup
definition string in quotes, as follows:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(LAYUP_DEFINITION="(option1;option2;...)")
See the Examples topic for examples of PRINT commands that
include in-line layup options.
4.3 – ALTERNATE
ALTERNATE=[LEFT|RIGHT|TOP|BOTTOM]
Shifts every other page image in preparation for two-sided
printing. Use this option in combination with the MARGINS
option.
Specify one of the words, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP or BOTTOM to
cause the DECprint Supervisor to shift alternate page side
images appropriately. Specifying LEFT or RIGHT alternates
the left and right margins you specify with the MARGINS
option (those margins along the long edge of a sheet of
paper). Specifying TOP or BOTTOM alternates the top and
bottom margins you specify.
If you specify ALTERNATE with no option values, left and
right margins alternate.
4.4 – BORDERS
BORDERS
NOBORDERS
Draws a border around each page.
If you use the NUMBER_UP parameter, the default is to draw
borders around each page spot. Specify NOBORDERS to inhibit
drawing of borders.
The default is to draw page borders whenever the layup
feature is used.
4.5 – FIRSTPAGE
FIRSTPAGE=value
Specifies the first page spot where a page will be printed.
You must specify a value to FIRSTPAGE. The value is the
number of the page spot on which to print the first page.
Page spots are numbered starting at 1.
The FIRSTPAGE option is useful for specifying how to print
pages when you need to preview the layout of pages for
documents with right and left pages. Without the FIRSTPAGE
option, pages are printed at all the page spots. You can
use FIRSTPAGE to print your layout in a way that reflects
proper right and left orientation.
The default is to use the first page spot on a sheet.
4.6 – GRID
GRID=columns,rows
Sets the number of page spots on a sheet in columns and rows.
Specify columns and rows as the numbers of columns and rows
desired on each sheet side.
This option overrides the NUMBER_UP parameter.
4.7 – MARGINS
MARGINS=t,b,l,r
Sets the margins for a sheet, where t is the top margin,
b is the bottom margin, l is the left margin and r is the
right margin. The numbers are interpreted as printer points,
where there are 72 points to an inch, or 28.35 points per
centimeter. Pages are scaled to fit within the margins.
4.8 – PAGEORDER
PAGEORDER=value
Specifies the order in which pages appear on a sheet.
This can be thought of as the reading order of the pages.
You must supply one of the following values to PAGEORDER:
RightDown Pages ordered left to right, top to bottom
LeftDown Pages ordered right to left, top to bottom
RightUp Pages ordered left to right, bottom to top
LeftUp Pages ordered right to left, bottom to top
DownRight Pages ordered top to bottom, left to right
DownLeft Pages ordered top to bottom, right to left
UpRight Pages ordered bottom to top, left to right
UpLeft Pages ordered bottom to top, right to left
4.9 – PAGESPERSHEET
PAGESPERSHEET=value
Sets the number of pages that will print per sheet, no
matter how many page spots are set by the NUMBER_UP parameter.
The NUMBER_UP parameter or the GRID layup option determines
the maximum number of pages you can print for each sheet.
PAGESPERSHEET determines only the range of page spots to use;
not their layout.
You must supply a value to PAGESPERSHEET. The value must be
less than the value supplied to the NUMBER_UP parameter value.
4.10 – Examples
The following PRINT commands illustrate the use of the layup
feature:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(SIDES=2,LAYUP=LPS$DOUBLEHOLES) DOCUMENT.PS
prints DOCUMENT.PS using the DCPS-supplied layup definition file
LPS$DOUBLEHOLES to alternate page side images for edge-binding.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(SIDES=2,NUMBER_UP=2,LAYUP="(NOBORDERS)") MAIL.TXT
prints the file MAIL.TXT as two-sided, two-pages per side and
with no page borders.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS= -
_$ (LAYUP="(MARGINS=20,20,60,20;NOBORDERS;ALTERNATE=LEFT)", -
_$ SIDES=2,PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE) -
_$ MONTHLY_REPORT.TXT
prints the file MONTHLY_REPORT.TXT with landscape orientation,
alternating page images across the long-edge margin.
5 – MEDIA_TYPE
MEDIA_TYPE=media-type-name
Specifies which on which media type the job will print.
Media-type-name can be any value, but should be the name of a media
type available on the printer.
If no media type is specified, the job will print using the
printer's default media type.
6 – MESSAGES
[NO]MESSAGES[=([PRINT][,][KEEP])]
Specifies what happens to job-generated event messages.
MESSAGES or MESSAGES=PRINT specifies that messages are printed on a
job log page. The message file is deleted.
MESSAGES=KEEP specifies that messages are recorded in the
SYS$LOGIN:DCPS$JOB_nnn.LOG file, where "nnn" is the queue entry
number for the job.
NOMESSAGES specifies that messages are not recorded anywhere.
The default is NOMESSAGES.
7 – NUMBER_UP
NUMBER_UP=n
NUMBER_UP specifies the maximum number of pages you can print per
side of each sheet of paper. This number of pages will appear on
each printed side unless you specify a different number through
a LAYUP_DEFINITION option. Note that using the LAYUP_DEFINITION
options can affect the actual number of pages printed per side.
(A sheet is a physical piece of paper. A page is an image, which
would usually be printed on one side of a single sheet.)
The value n can be from 0 to 100. If you specify a value of 0,
layup will be disabled. If you specify a value of 1, one page
is printed on a side, reduced, with a border around the page. This
is useful for including space around the printed page for punching
holes or for stapling the print job.
To use NUMBER_UP and a layup definition file together, you must specify
both on the command line or associate both with a queue.
8 – OUTPUT_TRAY
OUTPUT_TRAY=tray-name
Selects the output tray where the printer puts the printed output.
If you select a tray-name for a tray that is not available on your
printer, the output is sent to another tray if possible.
Since some trays are optional, not all trays are available on all
printers of a particular model.
8.1 – Compaq printers

* nn is the mailbox number. Mailboxes are numbered from
1 to a maximum of 8. When the printer is in collator,
job separator or stacker mode, mailbox 1 is the only valid
mailbox since, in these modes, the printer views the
mailboxes as one logical tray.

9 – PAGE_LIMIT
PAGE_LIMIT="([lower-limit,][upper-limit])"
Specifies the numbers of the first and last pages to print.
Header, trailer and burst pages are not included in the count.
Limits apply to an entire print job, not to each file in a multifile
job.
If you omit the lower limit, printing starts at the first page of the
job. If you omit the upper limit, printing continues to the end of the
job. You can omit the parentheses if you specify only the upper limit.
The maximum value for upper-limit is 1,000,000. If you include both
the lower limit and the upper limit, you must include quotation
marks around the parentheses.
The default is to print the entire job.
This parameter should be used to select which pages to print instead of
the OpenVMS queue qualifier /PAGES, which will not work with DCPS jobs.
10 – PAGE_ORIENTATION
PAGE_ORIENTATION=logical-orientation
Specifies the orientation of printed output on the logical page.
Logical-orientation can be PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE. If you do not
specify PAGE_ORIENTATION, it defaults to the page orientation
associated with the print queue. If there is no page orientation
associated with the queue, the default is PAGE_ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT.
The layup feature uses the page orientation in determining how to
place the pages on the sheet. If the DATA_TYPE is POSTSCRIPT and
the layup feature is not in use, this parameter is ignored.
11 – PAGE_SIZE
PAGE_SIZE=logical-size
This parameter specifies the size of the logical page. Valid values are:
A0 DOUBLEPOSTCARD
A1 EXECUTIVE
A2 FOLIO
A3 LEGAL
A4 LETTER (same as A)
A5 LEDGER (same as B)
B4 HALFLETTER
B5 TWOTHIRDSA4
B6 7_ENVELOPE
C 9_ENVELOPE
D 9X12_ENVELOPE

FOOLSCAP SPFOLIO
UKQUARTO
Specifying a PAGE_SIZE value in conjunction with the SHEET_SIZE
value is useful for scaling pages to fit a different size of media
than that for which they were formatted.
If you do not specify SHEET_SIZE in your PRINT command, the PAGE_SIZE
value is assumed to be the physical sheet size as well. In a print job
where both PAGE_SIZE and SHEET_SIZE are not specified, the DECprint
Supervisor software assumes the size of the media that is loaded into
the default input tray.
12 – PUNCH
PUNCH
NOPUNCH
For printers with a supported punch option, PUNCH specifies that
the job be punched. There are no values to the PUNCH parameter.
The position of the punched holes is determined by the orientation
of the paper in the printer. The number and spacing of holes is
determined by the printer.
When NOPUNCH is specified, the job is printed without punching,
overriding the printer's default punch setting.
The PUNCH feature is available on the following printers:
GENICOM Intelliprint mL450
GENICOM LN45
HP 9085 MFP
HP LaserJet 9055 MFP
HP LaserJet 9065 MFP
Lexmark W820
13 – SHEET_COUNT
SHEET_COUNT=number
Specifies the number of copies of each sheet to print. The printed
output is uncollated, unless the OUTPUT_TRAY value is COLLATOR.
The value for number can be 1 through 10,000 for uncollated copies.
For collated copies, the valid values for number are as allowed by
the printer's collator option.
The default is SHEET_COUNT=1.
14 – SHEET_SIZE
SHEET_SIZE=physical-size
Specifies the physical size of the sheets being printed.
If you do not specify SHEET_SIZE, it defaults to PAGE_SIZE. If
you also do not specify PAGE_SIZE, SHEET_SIZE defaults to the value
specified for the queue.

16 – STAPLE
STAPLE=staple-position
Valid staple-position values are:
LEFT_CENTER
TOP_CENTER
TOP_LEFT
TOP_RIGHT
NONE
These values specify the position of the staple with respect to the
orientation of the image on the paper. When NONE is specified, the
job is printed without stapling, overriding the printer's default
stapling setting. Some values of staple-position are not always
possible, depending on the direction in which the paper is fed
through the printer.
The STAPLE feature is available on the following printers:

$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=DATA_TYPE=PROPRINTER file-spec
The print symbiont calls the PROPRINTER-to-POSTSCRIPT translator.
When the translator has translated the file to PostScript, the
file is printed.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE file-spec
This command prints the job with landscape as the page orientation.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(INPUT_TRAY=MIDDLE,PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE) -
_$ file-spec
This command prints the job on paper from the middle input tray, with
landscape as the page orientation.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=("PAGE_LIMIT=(3,5)",MESSAGES) file-spec
or
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(PAGE_LIMIT="(3,5)",MESSAGES) file-spec
These commands print pages 3 through 5 of the job and print any
job-generated event messages on a job log page.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(SIDES=2,DATA=ANSI) file-spec
This command prints an ANSI text file using both sides of the sheet.
(The SIDES command is overridden if the file contains an operator that
sets the duplex value.)
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(NUMBER_UP=4) file-spec
This command prints the job four pages to a sheet. The sequence
of pages as printed on the page differs depending on whether the
document is printed in portrait or landscape orientation.
For a portrait-oriented document, For a landscape-oriented document,
the pages are printed on the if PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE is not
sheet in the following order: specified, the pages are printed on
the sheet in the following order:
+---------+---------+
| | | +------------+------------+
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |

| | | | | |
| | | | 4 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 | +------------+------------+
+---------+---------+
To print landscape pages in the portrait order, include the
PAGE_ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE parameter in the command line.
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(PAGE_SIZE=A,SHEET_SIZE=A4) file-spec
This command prints a file that is designed for A-size paper on
A4-size paper, adjusting the size of the page to fit the paper. The
page image is scaled to the dimensions of the sheet without
affecting the ratio of width to height.
