+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpbmpage\fP generates a one page test pattern to print on a
+sheet of paper, for use in calibrating a printer. The test pattern in
+is PBM format.
+.PP
+\fBpbmpage\fP produces an image intended for 600 dots per inch
+printer resolution.
+.PP
+If you are printing on an HP PPA printer, you can convert the
+output of this program to a stream that you can feed to the printer
+with \fBpbmtoppa\fP.
+.PP
+Bear in mind that when you print the test pattern, you are testing not
+only the printer, but any converter or driver software along the
+printing path. Any one of these components may adjust margins, crop
+the image, erase edges, and such.
+.PP
+If, because of addition of margins, the printer refuses to print the
+image because it is too big, use \fBpamcut\fP to cut the right and
+bottom edges off the test pattern until it is small enough to print.
+.PP
+\fItest_pattern \fP is the number of the test pattern to generate,
+as follows. The default is \fB1\fP.
+
+
+.TP
+\fB1\fP
+A black on white grid ruled in numbers of pixels. A black one pixel box
+is at the very edges of the paper.
+.sp
+Before Netpbm 10.18 (August 2003), the perimeter box was not there.
+
+.TP
+\fB2\fP
+A vertical line segment, one pixel wide, extending 1/2" up from the
+exact center of the page.
+.TP
+\fB3\fP
+Two diagonal line segments, one starting at the upper left corner of the
+page, the other starting from the lower left corner of the page. Both
+extend 1/2" toward the center of the page at 45 degrees.
+
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-a4\fP
+Generate an image for A4 (European) paper. Without this option,
+\fBpbmpage\fP generates an image for US standard paper (8 1/2"
+wide x 11" high).
