<p>The <var class="LITERAL">:mc</var> (maximum number of
copies) and <var class="LITERAL">:mx</var> (maximum job size)
options are used by both the <b class="APPLICATION">lpr</b>
and <b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> programs. The <tt class=
"COMMAND">lpr -Kn</tt> or <tt class="COMMAND">lpr -#n</tt>
option sets the numbers of copies wanted to <var class=
"LITERAL">n</var>; if this is larger than the <var class=
"LITERAL">:mc</var> value then the <b class=
"APPLICATION">lpr</b> client will not print the job and the
<b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server will discard the job
with an error. The job size is the product of the number of
copies and the sum of the individual file sizes. This is, in
effect, the total number of bytes to be transferred to the
printer. If the job size is larger than the <var class=
"LITERAL">:mx</var> limit, then the <b class=
"APPLICATION">lpr</b> client will not print the job and the
<b class="APPLICATION">lpd</b> server will discard the job
with an error.</p>
