8 foo2hbpl2-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a ZJS printer stream
9
11 foo2hbpl2-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2hbpl2-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2hbpl2 printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to Zenographics ZjStream printer format
17 for driving the Dell 1355, Dell C1765, Epson AcuLaser M1400, Epson Acu‐
18 Laser CX17NF, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM215,
19 Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P205, Xerox Phaser 3010, Xerox Phaser 3040, Xerox
20 WorkCentre 3045 MFP, and Xerox WorkCentre 6015 MFP printers.
21 This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
23 called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
24 database.

109 Printer Tweaking Options
111 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hbpl2 for
112 a particular printer.
113 -u xoffxyoff
115 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
116 upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The
117 defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
118 tested on any other printers.
119 -l xoffxyoff
121 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
122 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
123 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
124 on any other printers.
125 -L mask
127 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
128 foo2hbpl2-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page
129 dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regard‐
130 less whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This
131 option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to
132 where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount
133 which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most
134 cases.
135 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
137 1 only send Y clipping amount
138 2 only send X clipping amount
139 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
140 -P Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be
142 needed by some monochrome-only printers, such as the HP LaserJet
143 1000.
144 -X padlen
146 Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default
147 is 16 bytes. Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older
148 ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet
149 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as the Minolta
150 2300DL. So the default should be good for all cases.
151 Color Tweaking Options
153 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
154 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
155 -g gsopts
157 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
158 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
159 once.
160 -G profile.icm
162 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
163 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
164 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
165 -G gamma-file.ps
167 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
168 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
169 example, the file might contain:
170 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
171 -I intent
173 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
174 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
175 Debugging Options
177 These options are used for debugging foo2hbpl2 and its wrapper.
178 -S plane
180 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
181 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
182 1 Cyan
184 2 Magenta
185 3 Yellow
186 4 Black
187 -D level
189 Set Debug level [0].
190
193 Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it,
194 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
195 foo2hbpl2-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.prn
197 hbpl2decode < testpage.prn
198 lpr -P raw testpage.prn
199 Create a color ZjStream stream from a Postscript document:
201 foo2hbpl2-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.prn
203
206 /usr/bin/foo2hbpl2-wrapper
207
209 foo2hbpl2(1), hbpldecode(1)
