§ Page Setup (bjfilter)

This section explains how specify print options when you use the command line switches of the bjfilter command to specify print settings.

The print options for specifying basic print settings are as follows:

Paper Size Specification

[Paper Size]

Syntax: --papersize size or -p size

  • user: User-defined paper
  • Example: Printing Sample.png on A5 size paper
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --papersize a5
    
    

    [User-defined paper sizes]

    If you specify a user-defined paper for Page Size in the bjfilter options, specify the page size with a width (value1) and a height (value2). The unit is 1/100 mm.

    Syntax: --paperwidth value1 --paperheight value2

    Configurable Parameters:

    The specification is invalid if the parameters are omitted.

    Example: Printing Sample.png with a page size of 110 mm (width) by 150 mm (height)
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --papersize user --paperwidth 11000 --paperheight 10000
    
    

    When you set the size of a user-defined paper, you must set both the paper width (value1) and height (value2).

    Print Size Adjustment

    There are three size adjustment methods:

    Two or more these methods cannot be specified at the same time.

    [Scaling Specification]

    Syntax: --percent value

    Example: Printing Sample.png with an expansion size of 200%
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --percent 200
    
    

    [ Fit-to-Page Printing Specification]

    The image is expanded or reduced to fit the print area, without changing the vertical-horizontal ratio.

    Syntax: --fit

    Example: Printing Sample.png with Fit-to-Page Printing
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --fit
    
    

    [Fit-to-Print-Area Printing Specification]

    The image is expanded or reduced, without changing the vertical-horizontal ratio, so that there are no margins in the print area.

    Syntax: --full

    Example: Printing Sample.png with borderless printing
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --full
    
    
    Print Position Adjustment

    Syntax: --location position

    Example: Printing Sample.png in the center of the print area
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --location center
    
    
    Borderless Printing Specification

    [Borderless Printing]

    Syntax: --borderless

    Example: Printing Sample.png with borderless printing
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --borderless
    
    
    • Media types that can be specified
      • plain: plain paper
      • prophoto: Photo Paper Pro
      • superphoto: Super Photo Paper Pro
      • matte: Matte Photo Paper
      • glossypaper: Glossy Photo Paper
      • otherphoto: Swelling Paper
    • Supported paper sizes
      • 4X6: 4x6 in 101.6 x 152.4 mm
      • 5X7: 5x7in 12.70 x 177.8 mm

    • The default value of the paper size is "4X6: 4x6 in 101.6 x 152.4 mm".

    • To print Sample.png with borderless printing, specify the command as follows:
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --borderless --full


    There are restrictions on combining the [Media Type], [Print Quality], [Halftoning], and [Borderless Printing] print options.

    [Extension Amount]

    Syntax: --extension amount

    Configurable Parameters: A number from 0 to 3 (As the number becomes larger, the extension amount increases. The default value is 3.)

    Example: Printing Sample.png with borderless printing with an extension amount of 1
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --borderless --extension 1
    
    

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

    Copies

    Syntax: --copies value

    Example: Printing 10 copies of Sample.png
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png --copies 10
    
    
    Input Image Resolution

    Syntax: --imageres value

    Configurable Parameters: A number from 1 to 32767

    For the default resolution, the resolution included in the input image (if a resolution is not included in the image, the default value of Print Filter: 120 dpi) is used.

    Example: Printing Sample.png at 60dpi resolution
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png  --imageres 60
    
    
    Image Extraction Range

    With the bottom left of the image passed to Print Filter as the origin, specify the coordinates for the bottom left corner (left,bottom) and the top right corner (right,top) of the range to be extracted. The unit is 1/72 inch.

    Syntax: --bbox left,bottom,right,top

    Configurable Parameters: Numbers from 0 to "the image size passed to Print Filter"

    If the parameters are omitted, this function is invalid.

    Example: Printing Sample.png with the image extraction range set to the coordinates (100,100) for the bottom left and (200,200) for the top right
    
      bjfilterpixmaip1000 Sample.png  --bbox 100,100,200,200
