8 foo2hiperc-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a HIPERC printer stream
9
11 foo2hiperc-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2hiperc-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2hiperc printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to the Oki HIPERC printer format for
17 driving the Oki C310dn, C3100, C3200, C3300n, C3400n, C5100n, C5500n,
18 C5600n and the C5800n HIPERC 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.

81 Print in N-up. Requires the psutils package.
82 -o orient
84 Orientation used for N-up.
85 Portrait -op (normal)
87 Landscape -ol (rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise)
88 Seascape -os (rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
89 Printer Tweaking Options
91 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hiperc for
92 a particular printer.
93 -u xoffxyoff
95 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
96 upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
97 -l xoffxyoff
99 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
100 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
101 -L mask
103 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the HIPERC
104 stream. foo2hiperc-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the
105 ideal page dimensions, so that the scale of the image is cor‐
106 rect, regardless whether or not the printer has unprintable
107 regions. This option is used to move the position of the
108 clipped image back to where it belongs on the page. The default
109 is to send the amount which was clipped by -u and -l, and should
110 be good in most cases.
111 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
113 1 only send Y clipping amount
114 2 only send X clipping amount
115 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
116 -z model
118 Model is 0 for non-A3 sized printers, and 1 for
119 A3/Tabloid/Ledger sized printers (i.e. C810, etc.). The default
120 is 0.
121 -Z compressed
123 Use uncompressed (0) or compressed (1) JBIG data.
124 Color Tweaking Options
126 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
127 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
128 -g gsopts
130 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
131 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
132 once.
133 -G profile.icm
135 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
136 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
137 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
138 -G gamma-file.ps
140 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
141 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
142 example, the file might contain:
143 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
144 -I intent
146 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
147 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
148 Debugging Options
150 These options are used for debugging foo2hiperc and its wrapper.
151 -S plane
153 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
154 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
155 1 Cyan
157 2 Magenta
158 3 Yellow
159 4 Black
160 -D level
162 Set Debug level [0].
163
166 Create a monochrome HIPERC stream from a Postscript document, examine
167 it, and then print it using nc(1) or netcat(1):
168 foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.hc
170 hipercdecode < testpage.hc
171 nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.hc
172 Create a color HIPERC stream from a Postscript document:
174 foo2hiperc-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.hc
176
179 /usr/bin/foo2hiperc-wrapper
180
182 foo2hiperc(1), hipercdecode(1)
