NAME

       pbmtolj - convert a portable bitmap into HP LaserJet format

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtolj   [-resolution  N]  [-float]  [-noreset]  [-packbits]  [-delta]
       [-compress] [pbmfile] [-copies N]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a PBM image as input.  Produces HP LaserJet data as output.

       Note that there is no ljtopbm tool.

OPTIONS

       -resolution
              Specifies the resolution of the output device, in dpi.   Typical
              values are 75, 100, 150, 300, and 600.  The default is 75.

       -float Suppresses positioning information.  The default is to write the
              sequence ESC & l 0 E to the output file.

       -noreset
              Prevents  pbmtolj  from  writing  the  reset  sequences  to  the
              beginning and end of the output file.

       -packbits
              Enables use of TIFF packbits compression.

       -delta Enables use of delta-between-rows compression.

       -compress
              Enables  use  of  both  TIFF  packbits,  and  delta-between-rows
              compression.

       -copies
              Specifies the the number of copies.  The  default  is  1.   This
              option  controls the "number of copies" printer control; pbmtolj
              generates only one copy of the image.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
