DESCRIPTION
pbmtolj reads a PBM image as input and produces HP LaserJet
data as output.
Note that there is no ljtopbm tool.
OPTIONS
- -resolution
- Specifies the resolution of the output device, in dpi. Typical
values are 75, 100, 150, 300, and 600. The default is 75.
- -float
- Suppresses positioning commands. By default, pbmtolj
places the sequence ESC & l 0 E in the output, which means
to force the top margin to zero. With -float, pbmtolj
omits that command.
- -noreset
- Prevents pbmtolj from writing the reset sequences to the beginning
and end of the output file.
- -packbits
- Enables use of TIFF packbits compression.
- -delta
- Enables use of delta-between-rows compression.
- -compress
- Enables use of both TIFF packbits, and delta-between-rows compression.
- -copies
- Specifies the the number of copies. The default is 1. This option
controls the "number of copies" printer control;
pbmtolj generates only one copy of the image.
You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.
