7 job

10 dcmpsprt [options] dcmfile-in...
11
13 The dcmpsprt utility reads one or more DICOM images and presentation
14 states and creates a print job. The print job consists of one Stored
15 Print object and one or more Hardcopy Grayscale images and is written
16 to the database specified in the configuration file. The print job can
17 optionally be spooled to the printer. In this case, dcmpsprt calls the
18 dcmprscu application which performs communication with the printer.

218 The level of logging output of the various command line tools and
219 underlying libraries can be specified by the user. By default, only
220 errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using
221 option --verbose also informational messages like processing details
222 are reported. Option --debug can be used to get more details on the
223 internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes. Other logging levels
224 can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
225 errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the application
226 will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging
227 levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.
228 In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with
230 logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
231 --log-config can be used. This configuration file also allows for
232 directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for
233 filtering certain messages based on the module or application where
234 they are generated. An example configuration file is provided in
235 <etcdir>/logger.cfg).
236
238 All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
239 square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
240 indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
241 means 0 to n values.
242 Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
244 or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
245 options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
246 options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
247 behaviour conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
248 shells.
249 In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@'
251 sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
252 argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
253 (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless they
254 appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation.
255 Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file.
256 This simple but effective approach allows to summarize common
257 combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing
258 command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
259
261 The dcmpsprt utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
262 specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
263 the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
264 <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
265 the application (default for Windows).
266 The default behaviour should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
268 environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are
269 required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
270 the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries.
271 On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data
272 dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the
273 DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary
274 can be loaded.
