8 foo2zjs-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a ZJS printer stream
9
11 foo2zjs-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2zjs-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2zjs 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 Minolta/QMS 2300 DL network color laser printer and
18 other Zenographics-based printers.
19 This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
21 called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
22 database.

130 Printer Tweaking Options
132 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2zjs for a
133 particular printer.
134 -u xoffxyoff
136 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
137 upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The
138 defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
139 tested on any other printers.
140 -l xoffxyoff
142 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
143 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
144 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
145 on any other printers.
146 -L mask
148 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
149 foo2zjs-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page
150 dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regard‐
151 less whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This
152 option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to
153 where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount
154 which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most
155 cases.
156 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
158 1 only send Y clipping amount
159 2 only send X clipping amount
160 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
161 -P Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be
163 needed by some monochrome-only printers, such as the HP LaserJet
164 1000.
165 -X padlen
167 Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default
168 is 16 bytes. Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older
169 ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet
170 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as the Minolta
171 2300DL. So the default should be good for all cases.
172 -z model
174 Model. Default is 0.
175 0 KM 2300DL / HP 1000 / HP 1005
177 1 HP 1018 / HP 1020 / HP 1022
178 2 HP Pro P1102 / P1566 / P1606dn
179 3 HP Pro CP1025
180 Color Tweaking Options
182 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
183 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
184 -g gsopts
186 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
187 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
188 once.
189 -G profile.icm
191 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
192 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
193 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
194 -G gamma-file.ps
196 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
197 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
198 example, the file might contain:
199 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
200 -I intent
202 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
203 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
204 Debugging Options
206 These options are used for debugging foo2zjs and its wrapper.
207 -S plane
209 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
210 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
211 1 Cyan
213 2 Magenta
214 3 Yellow
215 4 Black
216 -D level
218 Set Debug level [0].
219
222 Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it,
223 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
224 foo2zjs-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
226 zjsdecode < testpage.zm
227 lpr -P raw testpage.zm
228 Create a color ZjStream stream from a Postscript document:
230 foo2zjs-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
232
235 /usr/bin/foo2zjs-wrapper
236
238 foo2zjs(1), zjsdecode(1)
