COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Normal Options
These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that
are usually controlled on a per job basis.

-d duplex
Duplex code to send to printer [1].
│ │ │
│1 off │ 2 long edge │ 3 short edge
-g xpixxypix
Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600].
-m media
Media code to send to printer [1].

-n copies
Number of copies [1].
-r xresxyres
Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].
-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 foo2hbpl2 for
a particular printer.
-u xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the up-
per 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].
0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
1 only send Y clipping amount
2 only send X clipping amount
3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
-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. Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older
ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet
1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as the Minolta
2300DL. So the default should be good for all cases.
Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging foo2hbpl2.
-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.
1 Cyan
2 Magenta
3 Yellow
4 Black
-D level
Set Debug level [0].
EXAMPLES
Create a black and white ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
