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 can print in 24 bit
35       color.  Images of the available sizes take so  long  to  transfer  that
36       there  is  a fast method, employing a lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will
37       use if there is a maximum of 256 colors in the image.  ppmtomitsu  will
38       try  to position your image to the center of the paper, and will rotate
39       your image for you if xsize is larger than ysize.   If  your  image  is
40       larger  than  the media allows, ppmtomitsu will quit with an error mes‐
41       sage. (We decided that the media were too expensive  to  have  careless
42       users  produce misprints.)  Once data transmission has started, the job
43       can't be stopped in a sane way  without  resetting  the  printer.   The
44       printer  understands  putting  together  images in the printers memory;
45       ppmtomitsu doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide  the  same  func‐
46       tionality  and  let you view the result on-screen, too.  The S340-10 is
47       the lowest common denominator printer; for higher  resolution  printers
48       there's  the  dpi300  option.  The  other  printers are also capable of
49       higher values for enlarge eg, but I don't think that's essential enough
50       to warrant a change in the program.
51
52       For  proper  results,  the  input  maxval must be 255.  Use pamdepth to
53       ensure that it is.
54
55       Before Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007), all Netpbm PPM programs,  includ‐
56       ing  ppmtomitsu, see a PBM image as having maxval 1, so ppmtomitsu does
57       not function properly with PBM input.  You can  use  ppmtoppm  together
58       with  pamdepth  to  turn  your PBM input into maxval 255 PPM input that
59       ppmtomitsu will use properly.

OPTIONS

63       In addition to the options common to all programs  based  on  libnetpbm
64       (most notably -quiet, see
65        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), ppmtomitsu recognizes the
66       following command line options:
67
68
69
70       -sharpness 1-4
71              "sharpness" designation.  Default is  to use the current  sharp‐
72              ness.
73
74
75       -enlarge 1-3
76              Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
77
78
79       -media {A|A4|AS|A4S}
80              Designate the media you're using.  Default is 1184 x 1350, which
81              will fit on any media.  A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x 1452,  AS
82              is  1216 x 1650 and A4S is 1184 x 1754.  A warning: If you spec‐
83              ify a different  media  than  the  printer  currently  has,  the
84              printer  will  wait until you put in the correct media or switch
85              it off.
86
87
88       -copy 1-9
89              The number of copies to produce.  Default is 1.
90
91
92       -dpi300
93              Double the number of allowed pixels for a  S3600-30  Printer  in
94              S340-10 compatibility mode.  (The S3600-30 has 300 dpi).
95
96
97       -tiny  Memory-saving,  but  always  slow. The printer will get the data
98              line-by-line in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use this  if
99              your machine starts paging a lot without this option.
