2: .TH HARDCOPY 1 "DWB 3.2"
3: .SH NAME
4: .B hardcopy
5: \- redirects output from PostScript file operators to paper
6: .SH SYNOPSIS
7: \*(mBhardcopy\f1
8: .OP "" options []
9: .OP "" files []
10: .SH DESCRIPTION
11: .B hardcopy
12: surrounds
13: .I files
14: with PostScript that redirects file output to paper,
15: and writes the results on the standard output.
16: If no
17: .I files
18: are specified, or if
19: .OP \-
20: is one of the input
21: .IR files ,
22: the standard input is read.
23: The following
24: .I options
25: are understood:
26: .TP 0.75i
27: .OP \-c num
28: Print
29: .I num
30: copies of each page.
31: By default only one copy is printed.
32: .TP 0.75i
33: .OP \-f name
34: Print
35: .I files
36: using font
37: .IR name ,
38: which should be the name of a constant width font.
39: The default font is Courier.
40: .TP 0.75i
41: .OP \-m num
42: Magnify each page by the factor
43: .IR num .
44: Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
45: which is located near the upper left corner of
46: each page.
47: The default magnification is 1.0.
48: .TP 0.75i
49: .OP \-p mode
50: Print
51: .I files
52: in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP
53: .IR mode .
54: Only the first character of
55: .I mode
56: is significant.
57: The default
58: .I mode
59: is \*(mBportrait\fP.
60: .TP 0.75i
61: .OP \-s num
62: Print
63: .I files
64: using point size
65: .IR num .
66: When printing in landscape mode
67: .I num
68: is scaled by a factor that depends on the
69: imaging area of the device.
70: The default size for portrait mode is 10.
71: .TP 0.75i
72: .OP \-x num
73: Translate the origin
74: .I num
75: inches along the positive x axis.
76: The default
77: coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
78: upper left corner of the page, with positive
79: x to the right and positive y down the page.
80: Positive
81: .I num
82: moves everything right.
83: The default offset is 0.25 inches.
84: .TP 0.75i
85: .OP \-y num
86: Translate the origin
87: .I num
88: inches along the positive y axis.
89: Positive
90: .I num
91: moves text down the page.
92: The default offset is 0.25 inches.
93: .TP 0.75i
94: .OP \-L file
95: Use
96: .I file
97: as the PostScript prologue.
98: .br
99: The default is
100: .MR \*(dQ/hardcopy.ps .
101: .PP
102: .B hardcopy
103: generates paper output from data that a PostScript program
104: normally sends back to a host computer.
105: It is particularly useful for recovering data from a printer
106: that does not allow access to its serial port.
107: .SH EXAMPLES
108: For a list of ROM based fonts type:
109: .EX
110: echo 'FontDirectory {pop ==} forall' | hardcopy | lp \(el
111: .EE
112: To recover the version number of the PostScript interpreter:
113: .EX
114: echo 'version ==' | hardcopy -pland | lp \(el
115: .EE
116: To build and print a width table for font
117: .MW R
118: type:
119: .EX
120: trofftable -TLatin1 R | hardcopy | lp \(el
121: .EE
122: .SH WARNINGS
123: Results are unpredictable if the input
124: .I files
125: make changes to the graphics state.
