/LPR [hostname]
Where hostname is a string
specifing the name or "ip
address" of the host
providing LPD
service. This is
usually a network printer or a spooling system e.g.:
escapee test.txt /hp /lpr 192.168.1.13 /x
The string may include field names in braces, e.g.
/LPR {hostname}
/LPRC 'class'
Specifies the LPR job class identifier. The string
may include
the name of a field from which the class may be derived. Field
names must be enclosed in braces. E.g.:
ESCAPEE XX.PCL /PDF /LPR 123.45.67.89 /LPRC C
{classfield}
If the field named classfield contains the value 12 when
the first page is output then the LPR class would be C12.
/LPRJOB 'job'
Specifies the name of an LPR output job. The string
may
include field names in braces, e.g.:
/LPRJOB AB{field1}CD{field2}EF
if field1 contains xxxx and field2 contains yyyy, the job
name would be ABxxxxCDyyyyEF.
/LPRQ 'queue'
A string
defining the name of LPR output queue, e.g.
escapee /LPRQ HeaderPaper.
The string may include field names in braces, e.g.
escapee /LPRQ {queuefield}
/LPRU 'user'
A string
to set LPR User name. The string may include field
names in braces.
/MENU N
Inhibits display of the EscapeE toolbar and menus.
/MKDIR
Create a new directory (folder) if necessary when exporting.
/NEXTPAGE p
Use p as the next page number. A positive number assigns
that number to the first page of the file and starts numbering
the next document where it left off. A negative value ensures
that the page number is not saved for the next document and
that the number is adjusted by any offset in the /PAGE
option.
/NOCACHE
Ensures that EscapeE does not cache any images, which may
reduce memory requirements in some cases, though possibly at
the expense of speed.
/NQ
Used only for calling EscapeE from the RedTitan
®
spooler nQ
. Use /LPRQ
to specify destination spooler folder. To force
an exit from EscapeE on completion, use the /X
option.
/NQERROR xxx
If an error is found with a file from an nQ
spooler, then
/NQERROR moves it to folder 'xxx'. If 'xxx' is null then the
output file is left in the input folder, so effectively ignoring the
error. See also /NQLOG
below.
/NQLOG xxx
Specifies the path of a folder to contain any faulty input file
and the error log file. Error log files are created with the
extension '.log'; for example, if DFAyyy is the input file name
the error log file will be called DFAyyy.log.

/OPTIONS filename
Specifies an options file (the extension .OPT is generally used)
which contains a list of one or more command line options.
Each line of the file specifies one option. The options —
without a preceding / character — should be of the form:
option=value
Options that take values of "yes" or "no" only may be
abbreviated to Y or N, e.g.
DISPLAY=Y
MKDIR=N
Boolean options are simply stated, e.g.
X
A file name can be put in the INI file
using the FILE
option in the options file:
FILE=escapee.prn
(For backward compatibility, the "equals" sign may be omitted
from options statements, but using the = instead is preferred
as it brings the syntax into line with that used in INI files.)
See Examples: Command lines
.
/PACK p
Defines the image data mode, where p is:
0 byte aligned (default)
1 unpacked (raw)
3 CCITT group 3 fax compression
4 CCITT group 4 fax compression
5 LZW compression
Flag bits may be added to p:
16 bit reversal
64 End Of Line markers
128 single strip
256 carry odd bits over to next row
Use p = -1 to set Packbits compression.
See Image Compression
and TIFF images file export.
/PAGE n-m*s
or
/PAGES n-m*s
or
/PAGES
firstpage,lastpage
Process pages n to m inclusive, broken into sets s pages
long.
Omit *s to process as one file (cannot apply to Subset
output).
If -m is omitted then process just page 'n'.
To process pages from 'n' to the end of the file, use /PAGE n-
Used in conjunction with /FROM
, fields containing the
numbers of a "starting" and an "ending" page may be specified
to process logical sets of pages. E.g.:
ESCAPEE /FROM CONTROL.CSV /PAGES
STARTPAGE,LASTPAGE /PDF /X
See also /NEXTPAGE.

®
documents, see PCL export
options.
/PCLRES r
Define the initial dot resolution (default is 300).
/PDF-A 'name'
Defines the author
of a PDF document. The 'name'
parameter is terminated by a space, so if a name includes
spaces it must be enclosed in quotes.
/PDF-K 'keyword1
keyword2 ...'
Defines the list of keywords
associated with a PDF
document. The 'keyword' parameter is terminated by a space,
so if there is more than a single word the string must be
enclosed in quotes.
/PDF-S 'string'
Defines the subject
of a PDF document. Since parameters
are terminated when a space is encountered, if the description
string includes spaces it must be enclosed in quotes.
/PDF-T 'string'
The string defines the title
of a PDF document. Since
parameters are terminated when a space is encountered, if the
title string includes spaces it must be enclosed in quotes.
Superseded by /TITLE
, /PDF-T is retained for backward
compatibility. If /TITLE and /PDF-T are both defined for a
document, /TITLE takes precedence.
