foo2slx - Convert Ghostscript pbmraw or bitcmyk format into a SLX printer stream

2. SYNOPSIS ▲

foo2slx [ options "] <" pbmraw-file " >" slx-file

foo2slx [ options "] <" bitcmyk-file " >" slx-file

foo2slx [ options "] <" pksmraw-file " >" slx-file

3. DESCRIPTION ▲

foo2slx converts Ghostscript pbmraw, bitcmyk, or pksmraw output formats to monochrome or color SLX streams, for driving the Lexmark C500 network color laser printer and other SLZ-based printers. The SLX stream is a variant of ZjStream produced by Software Imaging K.K.

4.2. Printer Tweaking Options ▲

These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2slx 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 ZjStream [3].
  • -A
        AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input only.
  • -B
        BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.
0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
1 only send Y clipping amount
2 only send X clipping amount
3 send both X and Y clipping amounts

4.3. Debugging Options ▲


    These options are used for debugging foo2slx.

  • -S\0 plane
        Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
  • -D\0 level
        Set Debug level [0].

5. EXAMPLES ▲

Create a black and white SLX stream:

 
Sélectionnez
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
    -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
    -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2slx -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

Create a color SLX stream:

 
Sélectionnez
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
    -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
    -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
