8 foo2oak-wrapper - Convert Postscript into an OAKT printer stream

11 foo2oak-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2oak-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2oak printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to Oak Technology OAKT printer format
17 for driving the HP Color LaserJet 1500 laser printer, Kyocera
18 KM-1636/KM-2035 copiers, and other OAKT-based 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.

103 Printer Tweaking Options
105 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2oak for a
106 particular printer.
107 -u xoffxyoff
109 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the up‐
110 per left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The de‐
111 faults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
112 tested on any other printers.
113 -l xoffxyoff
115 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
116 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
117 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
118 on any other printers.
119 -L mask
121 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the OAKT stream.
122 foo2oak-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page di‐
123 mensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
124 whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option
125 is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where
126 it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which
127 was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
128 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
130 1 only send Y clipping amount
131 2 only send X clipping amount
132 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
133 -z model
135 Model is 0 for the HP Color LaserJet 1500, and 1 for the Kyocera
136 KM-1635/KM-2035 copiers. The default is 0.
137 Color Tweaking Options
139 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
140 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
141 -g gsopts
143 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
144 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
145 once.
146 -G profile.icm
148 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
149 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
150 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
151 -G gamma-file.ps
153 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
154 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
155 example, the file might contain:
156 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
157 -I intent
159 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
160 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
161 Debugging Options
163 These options are used for debugging foo2oak and its wrapper.
164 -S plane
166 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
167 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
168 1 Cyan
170 2 Magenta
171 3 Yellow
172 4 Black
173 -D level
175 Set Debug level [0].
176
179 Create a monochrome OAKT stream from a Postscript document, examine it,
180 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
181 foo2oak-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.oak
183 oakdecode < testpage.oak
184 lpr -P raw testpage.oak
185 Create a color OAKT stream from a Postscript document:
187 foo2oak-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.oak
