Print by Formatting Text File

Xlpd permits text file printing by adjusting space or font sizes. It also enables direct printing of a text file without formatting. In such case, a file is printed via the same process as 'Print PS and PCL Files'.

To Format and Print Text File:

1. Select a queue to print with. If a queue does not exist, select the default queue.
2. Select [Queue] -> [Properties]. Queue Properties dialog box opens.
3. Click the [Data Format] tab.
4. Turn on [Apply text format when print].
5. Click [Font]. Font dialog box opens
6. Click [OK] after selecting a font.
7. Set margins in [Margin] field.
8. To print a UNIX system text document in a Windows environment, select [Convert CR to CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed)].
9. Click [OK].
10. Remote hosts makes a command to print a text file with an LPD printer as follows:
    $ lpr -Pserver test.txt or $ lpr -dserver test.txt

• Note
  When using a page printer, such as a laser printer, you may have to select the [Appemd FF(Form Feed) to end of data] option to print the last page.
