- .TH POSTDAISY 1 "DWB 3.2"
- .SH NAME
- .B postdaisy
- \- PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- \*(mBpostdaisy\f1
- .OP "" options []
- .OP "" files []
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B postdaisy
- translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel
- .I files
- into PostScript and writes the results on the
- standard output.
- If no
- .I files
- are specified, or if
- .OP \-
- is one of the input
- .IR files ,
- the standard input is read.
- The following
- .I options
- are understood:
- .TP 0.75i
- .OP \-c num
- Print
- .I num
- copies of each page.
- By default only one copy is printed.
- .TP
- .OP \-f name
- Print
- .I files
- using font
- .IR name .
- Any PostScript font can be used,
- although the best results will only be
- obtained with constant width fonts.
- The default font is Courier.
- .TP
- .OP \-h num
- Set the initial horizontal motion index to
- .IR num .
- Determines the character advance and the default
- point size, unless the
- .OP \-s
- option is used.
- The default is 12.
- .TP
- .OP \-m num
- Magnify each logical page by the factor
- .IR num .
- Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
- which is located near the upper left corner of
- each page.
- The default magnification is 1.0.
- .TP
- .OP \-n num
- Print
- .I num
- logical pages on each piece of paper,
- where
- .I num
- can be any positive integer.
- By default
- .I num
- is set to 1.
- .TP
- .OP \-o list
- Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
- .IR list .
- The list contains single numbers
- .I N
- and ranges
- .IR N1\-\|N2 .
- A missing
- .I N1
- means the lowest numbered page, a missing
- .I N2
- means the highest.
- .TP
- .OP \-p mode
- Print
- .I files
- in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP
- .IR mode .
- Only the first character of
- .I mode
- is significant.
- The default
- .I mode
- is \*(mBportrait\fP.
- .TP
- .OP \-r num
- Selects carriage return and line feed behavior.
- If
- .I num
- is 1 a line feed generates a carriage return.
- If
- .I num
- is 2 a carriage return generates a line feed.
- Setting
- .I num
- to 3 enables both modes.
- .TP
- .OP \-s num
- Use point size
- .I num
- instead of the default value set by the
- initial horizontal motion index.
- .TP
- .OP \-v num
- Set the initial vertical motion index to
- .IR num .
- The default is 8.
- .TP
- .OP \-x num
- Translate the origin
- .I num
- inches along the positive x axis.
- The default
- coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
- upper left corner of the page, with positive
- x to the right and positive y down the page.
- Positive
- .I num
- moves everything right.
- The default offset is 0.25 inches.
- .TP
- .OP \-y num
- Translate the origin
- .I num
- inches along the positive y axis.
- Positive
- .I num
- moves text down the page.
- The default offset is 0.25 inches.
- .TP
- .OP \-E name
- Set the character encoding for text fonts to
- .IR name .
- Requesting
- .I name
- means include file
- .MI \*(dQ/ name .enc \f1.
- A nonexistent encoding file is silently ignored.
- The default selects file
- .MR \*(dQ/Default.enc .
- .TP
- .OP \-L file
- Use
- .I file
- as the PostScript prologue.
- .br
- The default is
- .MR \*(dQ/postdaisy.ps .
- .PP
- Three options allow insertion of arbitrary PostScript
- at controlled points in the translation process:
- .TP 0.75i
- .OP \-C file
- Copy
- .I file
- to the output file;
- .I file
- must contain legitimate PostScript.
- .TP
- .OP \-P string
- Include
- .I string
- in output file;
- .I string
- must be legitimate PostScript.
- .TP
- .OP \-R action
- Requests special
- .I action
- (e.g.,
- .MR manualfeed )
- on a per page or global basis.
- The
- .I action
- string can be given as
- .IR request ,
- .IM request : page\f1\|,
- or
- .IM request : page : file\f1\|.
- If
- .I page
- is omitted or given as 0, the request
- applies to all pages.
- If
- .I file
- is omitted, the request
- lookup is done in
- .MR \*(dQ/ps.requests .
- .SH DIAGNOSTICS
- A 0 exit status is returned if
- .I files
- were successfully processed.
- .SH FILES
- .MW \*(dQ/postdaisy.ps
- .br
- .MW \*(dQ/forms.ps
