1.1 root 1: .TH DIMPRESS 1 local
2: .SH NAME
3: dimpress \- Imagen printer filter
4: .SH SYNOPSIS
5: .B dimpress
6: [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
7: .SH DESCRIPTION
8: .I Dimpress
9: prints
10: .I files
11: created by
12: .IR troff (1)
13: on any printer that accepts the Impress graphics and page layout
14: language.
15: If no
16: .I file
17: is mentioned, the standard input is printed.
18: The following options are understood.
19: .TP 1.0i
20: .BI \-o list
21: Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
22: .IR list .
23: The list contains single numbers
24: .I N
25: and ranges
26: .IB N1 \- N2.
27: A missing
28: .I N1
29: means the lowest-numbered page, a missing
30: .I N2
31: means the highest.
32: .TP 1.0i
33: .B \-t
34: Direct output to the standard output instead of the printer.
35: .TP 1.0i
36: .BI \-x num
37: Leave a margin
38: .I num
39: inches from the left side edge of the paper.
40: .TP 1.0i
41: .BI \-y num
42: Leaves a margin
43: .I num
44: inches down from the top of the page.
45: Negative values for
46: .I num
47: are allowed and often useful, especially to get macro generated
48: cut marks off the page.
49: .TP 1.0i
50: .BI \-l
51: Print the job in landscape mode.
52: .TP 1.0i
53: .BI \-p num
54: Set the horizontal and vetical step sizes for graphics to
55: .I num
56: pixels.
57: If Impress graphics commands are used for drawing this option
58: will only affect splines.
59: .TP 1.0i
60: .BI \-P num
61: Use
62: .I num
63: as the pixel diameter of the Impress graphics pen.
64: Only useful when Impress graphics commands are being used.
65: .TP 1.0i
66: .BI \-T name
67: Generate output to be printed on the target printer
68: .I name.
69: The printers currently supported are:
70: .RS 1i
71: .TP .5i
72: .PD 0
73: .B i300
74: Imagen 8/300
75: .TP .5i
76: .B i480
77: Imagen 5/480
78: .TP .5i
79: .B i10
80: Imagen Imprint-10 using rasti10 raster files
81: .TP .5i
82: .B i240
83: Imagen Imprint-10 using rasti240 raster files
84: .RE
85: .PD 1
86: .IP
87: By default the output printer is assumed to be
88: .I i300.
89: Although
90: .I i10
91: and
92: .I i240
93: select the same target printer, namely the Imprint-10,
94: the raster tables used for character generation will be
95: found in different directories.
96: .TP 1.0i
97: .BI \-F dir
98: Use
99: .I dir
100: as the
101: .I troff
102: font directory.
103: .TP 1.0i
104: .BI \-B dir
105: Use
106: .I dir
107: as the raster table directory.
108: When processing a
109: .I file
110: generated by
111: .I troff
112: for printing on device xxx
113: .I dimpress
114: will first look for the binary font directory devxxx
115: in the raster table directory.
116: If it's not found there the devxxx directory in
117: .I troff's
118: font directory will be used.
119: .TP 1.0i
120: .BI \-R name
121: Use raster tables generated for device
122: .I name
123: when printing
124: .I file.
125: By default
126: .I dimpress
127: will attempt to use the target printer's raster files.
128: .TP 1.0i
129: .BI \-f file
130: Read resident font information from
131: .I file
132: which is located in directory /usr/lib/raster/RESIDENT.
133: By default
134: .I dimpress
135: looks for a file in that directory that has the same
136: name as the target printer.
137: Useful if several otherwise identical printers
138: support different sets of resident fonts.
139: .PP
140: The
141: .I files
142: should be prepared by
143: .I troff.
144: Best results will almost certainly be obtained only when
145: .I troff
146: and
147: .I dimpress
148: agree on the target printer.
