4.2. Printer Tweaking Options ▲

These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2oak for a particular printer.

  • -u\0 xoff x yoff
        Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].
  • -l\0 xoff x yoff
        Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].
  • -L\0 mask
        Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the OAKT stream [3].
  • -A
        Turn off: conversion of C=1,M=1,Y=1 to pure black.
  • -B
        Turn off: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.
  • -M\0 mirror
        Mirror bytes. Mirror is 0 for Kyocera KM-1635/KM-2035 and 1 for the HP Color LaserJet 1500. The default is 1.
