Using the advanced print functions of the Xerox Workcentre 7535 with CUPS

The Xerox Workcentre 7535 floor printers provide a number of advanced functions. These functions are available via the CUPS command line tools as well as under the KDE programmes. Unfortunately, the GNOME print dialogue does not provide any options for this.

Print in colour

 

The default setting is printing in black and white/gray scale. You can print in colour as follows.

 

lpr -P ed-d2-005 -o XRColorMode=Color colours.ps

 

Punching

 

The printer can punch paper either two or four times. There is no limit to the number of pages, as the printer perforates each page individually.

lpr -P ed-d2-005 -o XRPunch=4HolePunch doc.ps

 

Stapling

 

There are several ways to staple a document. The printer supports stapling in the following places:

 

Top left

Twice on the left-hand side

Bottom left (for landscape format)

Please note that a maximum of 50 pages can be stapled together.

lpr -P ed-d2-005 -o StapleLocation=SingleLandscape doc.pdf

 

Protected output

 

Protected output means that a printout is not printed immediately, but that a PIN must first be entered at the printer before the job is printed. The PIN may have a maximum of 4 digits.

Print booklets

 

The floor printers can produce A5 and A4 booklets from A4 and A3 paper. These are optionally stapled in the centre. To print booklets, it is necessary to adjust the page sequence beforehand, as well as to place two pages on one and accept double-sided printing.

 

The following command line prints a booklet with stapling in the centre.

 

psbook doc.ps | lpr -P ed-d2-005 -o number-up=2 -o sides=two-sided-short-edge -o XRFold=BiFoldStaple

 

Print transparencies

 

Foils are inserted in subject area 3 of the printer. Foils can therefore be easily printed with:
