You may use double +hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white +space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value. + + +.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 + + + +.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 +a4 +.IP \(bu +a5 +.IP \(bu +a6 +.IP \(bu +jb4 +.IP \(bu +jb5 +.IP \(bu +jb6 +.IP \(bu +exec +.IP \(bu +ledger +.IP \(bu +b5envelope +.IP \(bu +c5envelope +.IP \(bu +com10envelope +.IP \(bu +monarchenvelope +.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). + + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "\fBppmtolj\fP" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "\fBpbmtolj\fP" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "\fBppmtopj\fP" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "\fBppmtopjxl\fP" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "\fBthinkjettopbm\fP" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "\fBppm\fP" (5)\c +\& + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +\fBpnmtopclxl\fP was added to Netpbm in Release 10.6 (July 2002). +It was contributed by +\fIJochen Karrer\fP. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
