.UN description
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is part of
.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
\&.
.PP
\fBppmtomitsu\fP reads a PPM image as input and converts it into a
format suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10 printer, or any
other Mitsubishi color sublimation printer.
.PP
The Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer can print in 24 bit color.
Images of the available sizes take so long to transfer that there is a fast
method, employing a lookup table, that \fBppmtomitsu\fP uses if there are no
more than 256 colors in the image. \fBppmtomitsu\fP tries to position your
image at the center of the paper, and will rotate your image for you if
xs\fIize\fP is larger than y\fIsize\fP. If your image is larger than the
media allows, \fBppmtomitsu\fP fails. (We decided that the media were too
expensive to have careless users produce misprints). Once data transmission
has started, the job can't be stopped in a sane way without resetting the
printer. The printer understands putting together images in the
printer's memory; \fBppmtomitsu\fP doesn't use this function because
\fBpamcat\fP etc provide the same functions and let you view the result
on-screen, too. The S340-10 is the lowest common denominator printer; for
higher resolution printers there is the dpi300 option. The other printers are
also capable of higher values for \fIenlarge\fP, etc., but I don't think that
is valuable enough to warrant a change in the program.
.PP
For proper results, the input maxval must be 255. Use \fBpamdepth\fP
to ensure that it is.
.PP
Before Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007), all Netpbm PPM programs, including
\fBppmtomitsu\fP, see a PBM image as having maxval 1, so \fBppmtomitsu\fP
does not function properly with PBM input. You can use \fBppmtoppm\fP
together with \fBpamdepth\fP to turn your PBM input into maxval 255
PPM input that \fBppmtomitsu\fP will use properly.
.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
\&), \fBppmtomitsu\fP recognizes the following
command line options:
.TP
\fB-sharpness\fP \fI1-4\fP
"sharpness" designation. Default is to use the current sharpness.
.TP
\fB-enlarge\fP \fI1-3\fP
Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
.TP
\fB-media\fP {\fBA\fP|\fBA4\fP|\fBAS\fP|\fBA4S\fP}
Designate the media you're using. Default is 1184 x 1350, which will
fit on any media. A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x 1452, AS is 1216 x
1650 and A4S is 1184 x 1754. A warning: If you specify a different
media than the printer currently has, the printer will wait until you
put in the correct media or switch it off.
.TP
\fB-copy\fP \fI1-9\fP
The number of copies to produce. Default is 1.
.TP
\fB-dpi300\fP
Double the number of allowed pixels for a S3600-30 Printer in S340-10
compatibility mode. (The S3600-30 has 300 dpi).
.TP
\fB-tiny\fP
Memory-saving, but always slow. The printer will get the data
line-by-line in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use this if your
machine starts paging a lot without this option.
