Why doesn't “ping -l” works when ping works?

I can ping

ping AddressIp
64 bytes from indirizzoIp: icmp_req=1 ttl=42 time=149 ms

but with additionnal parameter

ping AddressIp -l 1400 
ping: cannot set preload to value > 3

ping AddressIp -t -l 1400
ping: can't set unicast time-to-live: Invalid argument

Why can't I ping?
