DESCRIPTION

28       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
29
30       ppmtomitsu  reads  a  PPM  image as input and converts it into a format
31       suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10 printer,  or  any  other
32       Mitsubishi color sublimation printer.
33
34       The  Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports 24bit color.
35       Images of the available sizes take so long to transfer that there is  a
36       fast method, employing a lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will use if there
37       is a maximum of 256 colors in the image.  ppmtomitsu will try to  posi‐
38       tion  your image to the center of the paper, and will rotate your image
39       for you if xsize is larger than ysize.  If your image  is  larger  than
40       the  media  allows,  ppmtomitsu  will  quit  with an error message. (We
41       decided that the media were too expensive to have careless  users  pro‐
42       duce  misprints.)  Once data transmission has started, the job can't be
43       stopped in a sane way  without  resetting  the  printer.   The  printer
44       understands  putting together images in the printers memory; ppmtomitsu
45       doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide the same  functionality  and
46       let you view the result on-screen, too.  The S340-10 is the lowest com‐
47       mon denominator printer; for higher  resolution  printers  there's  the
48       dpi300  option.  The  other  printers  also  support  higher values for
49       enlarge eg, but I don't think that's  essential  enough  to  warrant  a
50       change in the program.

OPTIONS

54       -sharpness 1-4
55              'sharpness'  designation.  Default is  to use the current sharp‐
56              ness.
57
58
59       -enlarge 1-3
60              Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
61
62
63       -media {A|A4|AS|A4S}
64              Designate the media you're using.  Default is 1184 x 1350, which
65              will  fit on any media.  A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x 1452, AS
66              is 1216 x 1650 and A4S is 1184 x 1754.  A warning: If you  spec‐
67              ify  a  different  media  than  the  printer  currently has, the
68              printer will wait until you put in the correct media  or  switch
69              it off.
70
71
72       -copy 1-9
73              The number of copies to produce.  Default is 1.
74
75
76       -dpi300
77              Double  the  number  of allowed pixels for a S3600-30 Printer in
78              S340-10 compatibility mode.  (The S3600-30 has 300 dpi).
79
80
81       -tiny  Memory-safing, but always slow. The printer will  get  the  data
82              line-by-line  in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use this if
83              your machine starts paging a lot without this option.
