NAME

       foo2hiperc-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a HIPERC printer stream

SYNOPSIS

       foo2hiperc-wrapper [options] [ps-file]

DESCRIPTION

       foo2hiperc-wrapper  is  a  Foomatic  compatible printer wrapper for the
       foo2hiperc printer driver.  This script reads a Postscript  ps-file  or
       standard  input  and  converts  it to the Oki HIPERC printer format for
       driving the Oki C3100, C3200, C3300n, C3400n,  C5100n,  C5500n,  C5600n
       and the C5800n HIPERC printers.

       This  script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
       called from a printer spooler system which uses  the  Foomatic  printer
       database.

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hiperc for
       a particular printer.

       -u xoffxyoff
              Set  the  offset  of  the start of the printable region from the
              upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].

       -l xoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
              right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].

       -L mask
              Send  the  logical  clipping  values  from  -u/-l  in the HIPERC
              stream.  foo2hiperc-wrapper always  runs  Ghostscript  with  the
              ideal  page  dimensions,  so  that  the  scale  of  the image is
              correct, regardless whether or not the printer  has  unprintable
              regions.   This  option  is  used  to  move  the position of the
              clipped image back to where it belongs on the page.  The default
              is to send the amount which was clipped by -u and -l, and should
              be good in most cases.

              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

       -Z compressed
              Use uncompressed (0) or compressed (1) JBIG data.

   Color Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to control  the  quality  of  color  output.
       Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.

       -g gsopts
              Additional   options   to   pass   to   Ghostscript,   such   as
              -g"-dDITHERPPI=nnn", etc.  This  option  may  appear  more  than
              once.

       -G profile.icm
              Convert  profile.icm  to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
              (CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and  adjust  the  printer  colors  by
              using  the  Postscript  setcolorrendering  operator.   (WORK  IN
              PROGRESS).

       -G gamma-file.ps
              Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to  perform  color
              correction  using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator.  For
              example, the file might contain:
              {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer

       -I intent
              Select   profile   intent  from  the  ICM  file.   0=Perceptual,
              1=Colorimetric,  2=Saturation,   3=Absolute.    Default   is   0
              (perceptual).

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2hiperc and its wrapper.

       -S 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.

              1   Cyan
              2   Magenta
              3   Yellow
              4   Black

       -D level
              Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES

       Create  a  monochrome HIPERC stream from a Postscript document, examine
       it, and then print it using nc(1) or netcat(1):

              foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.hc
              hipercdecode < testpage.hc
              nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.hc

       Create a color HIPERC stream from a Postscript document:

              foo2hiperc-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.hc
