foo2hp − Convert Ghostscript pbmraw or bitcmyk format into a ZJS printer stream
foo2hp [options] <pbmraw-file >zjs-file
foo2hp [options] <bitcmyk-file >zjs-file
foo2hp [options] <cups-file >zjs-file
foo2hp converts Ghostscript pbmraw, bitcmyk, or cups output formats to monochrome or color ZJS streams, for driving the Hewlett-Packard 2600n color laser printer and other Zenographics-based printers.
Normal
Options
These are the options used to select the parameters of a
print job that are usually controlled on a per job basis.
−b bits
Bits per plane if autodetect doesn’t work (1 or 2) [1].
−c |
Force color mode if autodetect doesn’t work. |
−d duplex
Duplex code to send to printer [1].
−g xpixxypix
Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600].
−m media
Media code to send to printer [1].
−p paper
Paper code to send to printer [1].
−n copies
Number of copies [1].
−r xresxyres
Set device resolution in pixels/inch [600x600].
−s source
Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [7].
−t |
Draft mode. Every other pixel is white. |
−J filename
Filename string to send to printer.
−U username
Username string to send to printer.
Printer
Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2hp for a particular printer.
−u xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].
−l xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].
−L mask
Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].
−P |
Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be needed by some black and white only printers, such as the HP LaserJet 1000. | ||
−A |
AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input only. | ||
−B |
BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only. |
−X padlen
Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default is 16 bytes.
Debugging
Options
These options are used for debugging foo2hp.
−S plane
Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
−D level
Set Debug level [0].
Create a black and white ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH
-dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH
-dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
