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 right corner of the page.
