28 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
29 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 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 For proper results, the input maxval must be 255. Use pamdepth to
53 ensure that it is.
54 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.

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 -sharpness 1-4
71 "sharpness" designation. Default is to use the current sharp‐
72 ness.
73 -enlarge 1-3
76 Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
77 -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 -copy 1-9
89 The number of copies to produce. Default is 1.
90 -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 -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.
