notes • All printer types support "raw" as the language type. This makes the print queue a pass-through queue. This means the print job is sent to the printer without any queue modification. • The Automatic language type lets you set the language type to be automatic, pcl, or ps.

However, if a duplex unit is - Lexmark Optra T616 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 22
