7 job

11 dcmpsprt [options] dcmfile-in...
12
14 The dcmpsprt utility reads one or more DICOM images and presentation
15 states and creates a print job. The print job consists of one Stored
16 Print object and one or more Hardcopy Grayscale images and is written
17 to the database specified in the configuration file. The print job can
18 optionally be spooled to the printer. In this case, dcmpsprt calls the
19 dcmprscu application which performs communication with the printer.

219 The level of logging output of the various command line tools and
220 underlying libraries can be specified by the user. By default, only
221 errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using
222 option --verbose also informational messages like processing details
223 are reported. Option --debug can be used to get more details on the
224 internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes. Other logging levels
225 can be selected using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
226 errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the application
227 will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging
228 levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.
229 In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with
231 logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
232 --log-config can be used. This configuration file also allows for
233 directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for
234 filtering certain messages based on the module or application where
235 they are generated. An example configuration file is provided in
236 <etcdir>/logger.cfg.
237
239 All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
240 square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
241 indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
242 means 0 to n values.
243 Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
245 or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
246 options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
247 options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
248 behavior conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
249 shells.
250 In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@'
252 sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
253 argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
254 (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless they
255 appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation.
256 Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file.
257 This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common
258 combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing
259 command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
260
262 The dcmpsprt utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
263 specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
264 the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
265 <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
266 the application (default for Windows).
267 The default behavior should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
269 environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are
270 required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
271 the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries.
272 On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data
273 dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the
274 DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary
275 can be loaded.
