Printer, Plotter, and Spooler Subsystem Programming
Pitch Pitch selection is supported for the PCL 5 emulation by using the –p
flag for pitch and the –s flag for font name (or type face) with the qprt
command. Pitch values between 1 and 100 characters per inch (cpi) in
whole integers are supported. The condensed print flag, –K, is not
supported.

Note: To format ASCII for other font styles, use the base operating
system enscript utility or the qprt command with the –da, –s, and –p
flags to a PostScript queue. For PostScript queues, –p stands for
point size and the valid list of fonts can be found in
/usr/lib/ps/fontmap. Valid point sizes are any integer from 1 to
1008.
Only a pitch of 17 is supported for the lineprinter font style.
Duplex Mode The optional duplex feature is supported by the –Y flag of the qprt
command. The default value is 0 or simplex mode.
