        If you specify Custom for Page Size, specify the size within the following range.
        You must set both the paper width (value1) and height (value2).

        Syntax                  :  -o PageSize=Custom.[value1]x[value2]mm
        Parameter               : value1 = 89 mm - 215.9 mm,
                                   value2 = 127 mm - 355.6 mm


    Print Size

        i) Scaling Specification

        Specify the size ratio for enlargement or reduction as a % value. With the lpr command,
        you can use "natural-scaling," which is a standard option, to perform
        the Scaling Specification.
        For information about the options that can be set in the lpr command (CUPS),
        see the homepage for the Common UNIX Printing System (http://www.cups.org/).

        ii) Fit-to-Page Printing

        Syntax                  : -o scaling=100

        This function expands or reduces the image to fit the print area, without changing
        the vertical-horizontal ratio. It scales the image to fit to the print area
        in either the horizontal or vertical direction.

        *Scaling Specification and Fit-to-Page Printing cannot be specified
        at the same time.

    Print Position

        With the lpr command, you can use "position," which is a standard option, to perform
        the Print Position adjustment. For information about the options that can be set
        in the lpr command (CUPS), see the homepage for the Common UNIX Printing System
        (http://www.cups.org/).


    Automatic Duplex Printing **

        Syntax                  :  -o Duplex
        Parameter               : There is no parameter.

        Staple Side

        Syntax                  :  -o CNStapleSide=[parameter]
        Parameter               : The following Staple Sides can be selected.
                                   [Default Value=longside]

        longside                 Printing with stapling on the long side.
        shortside                Printing with stapling on the short side.

        *This option is enabled only when Automatic Duplex Printing is specified.

    Borderless Printing **

        This parameter adjusts the amount that extends outside the paper during
        Borderless Printing. This parameter is enabled only when Borderless Printing is specified.

        Syntax                  :  -o CNExtension=[parameter]
        Parameter               : 0 - 3 [Default Value=2]
        As the number becomes larger, the extension amount increases.

    Copies

        Syntax                  :  -o CNCopies=[parameter]
        Parameter               : 1 - 999 [Default Value=1]

    Detect paper width

        Detect the paper width when printing.

        Syntax                  :  -o CNDetectPaperWidth
        Parameter               : There is no parameter.

4. Maintenance Command
    You can use the basic maintenance function of the printer by using the following
     command. The maintenance function varies depending on its types. For more
     details, refer to "Online Manual."
    The following command is based on registering "MG6400USB" to the spooler as the printer name. Change it to the printer name that you have set.
