+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpnmtopclxl\fP reads one or more PNM input streams, each containing one
+or more PNM images, and generates a sequence of output pages in the
+HP PCL-XL (formerly named PCL 6) printer control language. You can send
+this stream to a PCL-XL printer to print the images.
+.PP
+Alternatively, you can make \fBpnmtopclxl\fP generate just the PCL-XL
+instructions to print an image, which you can embed in your own PCL-XL
+stream to place an image on one of your pages. (\fB-embedded\fP option).
+.PP
+If the input is PPM, the output is a color printer stream (the PCL
+color space is RGB). Otherwise, the output is grayscale (the PCL color space
+is grayscale). If you want a grayscale output from a color input, run your
+input through
+.BR "ppmtopgm" (1)\c
+\&. See the
+\fB-colorok\fP option for more information about choosing between color
+and grayscale.
+.PP
+The output goes to Standard Output. All of the pages go to one
+file, concatenated in the same order as the input images.
+
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBpnmtopclxl\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-dpi=\fP\fIN\fP
+This option selects the resolution of the image (not the printer!).
+\fIN\fP is the resolution in dots per inch, from 1 to 65535. The default
+is 300.
+
+.TP
+\fB-xoffs=\fP\fIN\fP
+This option and \fB-yoffs\fP determine the location on the page of the
+upper left corner of each image. Note that the image may have built in
+borders too, which would make the main image within more left and down
+that what you specify here.
+.sp
+\fB-xoffs\fP and \fB-yoffs\fP specify the distance from the left of the
+page and from the top of the page, respectively, in inches, of the upper left
+corner of the image. The default for each is zero.
+.sp
+These options are meaningless if you specify \fB-center\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-yoffs\fP \fIN\fP
+See \fB-xoffs\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-center\fP
+This option tells \fBpnmtopclxl\fP to center each image on the page.
+If you don't specify this option, the position of an image on the page is
+determined by \fB-xoffs\fP and \fB-yoffs\fP (or their defaults).
+
+.TP
+\fB-duplex=\fP{\fBvertical\fP|\fBhorizontal\fP}
+This option
+causes \fBpnmtopclxl\fP to create a printer stream that prints pages
+on both sides of the sheet of paper. \fBvertical\fP means to print
+them so that the left edge of both pages is on the same edge of the
+sheet, while \fBhorizontal\fP means the more usual duplexing where the
+top of both pages is on the same edge of the sheet.
+
+.TP
+\fB-format=\fP\fIpaperformat\fP
+This option selects the media (e.g. paper size) that the printer
+control stream specifies. \fIpaperformat\fP is one of the following
+self-explanatory keywords:
+
+
+.IP \(bu
+letter
+.IP \(bu
+legal
+.IP \(bu
+a3
+.IP \(bu

+dlenvelope
+.IP \(bu
+jpostcard
+.IP \(bu
+jdoublepostcard
+
+.sp
+The default is \fBletter\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-feeder=\fP\fIN\fP
+This options selects the media source (e.g. paper tray) that the
+printer control stream specifies.
+
+.TP
+\fB-copies=\fP\fIN\fP
+This option specifies the number of copies that the printer control
+stream tells the printer to print.
+
+.TP
+\fB-rendergray\fP
+This option causes \fBpnmtopclxl\fP to include in the output
+stream a command to set the RENDERMODE environment variable to
+GRAYSCALE, which typically causes the printer to print in grayscale
+regardless of the colors in the input, and may cause it to run much
+faster even if the image is grayscale anyway.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.29 (August 2005).
+
+.TP
+\fB-jobsetup=\fP\fIfilename\fP
+This option causes \fBpnmtopclxl\fP to include arbitrary job setup
+PJL commands at the beginning of the output stream. It reads them from
+the named file.
+.sp
+\fBpnmtopclxl\fP does not inspect these commands in any way, but it
+does expect them to be job setup commands. If you have garbage in your
+file, you will hear from the printer.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.29 (August 2005).
+
+.TP
+\fB-colorok\fP
+This option simply tells \fBpnmtopclxl\fP not to warn you if you supply
+a color input and therefore get color output. By default, \fBpnmtopclxl\fP
+issues a warning any time it produces a color printer stream because it is
+usually a mistake. It's a mistake because PCL XL is mainly used for laser
+printers, and laser printers are mainly black and white. If you send a color
+print stream to a black and white printer, it typically refuses to print
+anything, and even if it manages to convert it to black and white and print
+it, it takes 3 times as long to transmit a color stream to the printer than
+to transmit the grayscale image that gives the same result.
+
+.TP
+\fB-embedded\fP
+Without this option, \fBpnmtopclxl\fP generates an entire printer control
+stream that sets up the printer, ejects pages, and places a lone image on
+each page. With the option, \fBpnmtopclxl\fP generates only the instructions
+to generate the image itself. This is not useful all by itself, but you
+can embed it in a suitable PCL-XL stream in order to add an image to it.
+.sp
+This makes sense only for a single image, so you cannot specify multiple
+input files and if an input file has multiple images in it, \fBpnmtopclxl\fP
+ignores any after the first (it won't even read them).
+.sp
+All the options that control the printer control stream outside the image
+itself, such as \fB-xoffs\fP and \fB-feeder\fP are invalid
+with \fB-embedded\fP.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.54 (March 2011).
