.TH "dcmprscp" 1 "Tue Dec 19 2023" "Version 3.6.8" "OFFIS DCMTK" \" -*- nroff -*- .nh .SH NAME dcmprscp \- DICOM basic grayscale print management SCP .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP .PP .nf dcmprscp [options] .fi .PP .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP The \fBdcmprscp\fP utility implements the DICOM Basic Grayscale Print Management Service Class as SCP\&. It also supports the optional Presentation LUT SOP Class\&. The utility is intended for use within the DICOMscope viewer\&. .PP The \fBdcmprscp\fP utility accepts print jobs from a remote Print SCU\&. It does not create real hardcopies but stores print jobs in the local DICOMscope database as a set of Stored Print objects (one per page) and Hardcopy Grayscale images (one per film box N-SET)\&. The DICOMscope application allows one to load a Stored Print object created by \fBdcmprscp\fP and to render a screen preview of the hardcopy\&. The \fBdcmprscp\fP utility reads the characteristics of the printer to be emulated from the configuration file\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP .SS "general options" .PP .nf -h --help print this help text and exit --version print version information and exit --arguments print expanded command line arguments -q --quiet quiet mode, print no warnings and errors -v --verbose verbose mode, print processing details -d --debug debug mode, print debug information -ll --log-level [l]evel: string constant (fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace) use level l for the logger -lc --log-config [f]ilename: string use config file f for the logger -l --logfile write a log file (not with --log-config) # this option is available for reasons of backward # compatibility only .fi .PP .SS "processing options" .PP .nf -c --config [f]ilename: string process using settings from configuration file -p --printer [n]ame: string (default: 1st printer in config file) select printer with identifier n from config file +d --dump dump all DIMSE messages .fi .PP .SH "LOGGING" .PP The level of logging output of the various command line tools and underlying libraries can be specified by the user\&. By default, only errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream\&. Using option \fI--verbose\fP also informational messages like processing details are reported\&. Option \fI--debug\fP can be used to get more details on the internal activity, e\&.g\&. for debugging purposes\&. Other logging levels can be selected using option \fI--log-level\fP\&. In \fI--quiet\fP mode only fatal errors are reported\&. In such very severe error events, the application will usually terminate\&. For more details on the different logging levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'\&. .PP In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option \fI--log-config\fP can be used\&. This configuration file also allows for directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for filtering certain messages based on the module or application where they are generated\&. An example configuration file is provided in \fI/logger\&.cfg\fP\&. .SH "COMMAND LINE" .PP All command line tools use the following notation for parameters: square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both means 0 to n values\&. .PP Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+' or '-' sign, respectively\&. Usually, order and position of command line options are arbitrary (i\&.e\&. they can appear anywhere)\&. However, if options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used\&. This behavior conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix shells\&. .PP In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@' sign as a prefix to the filename (e\&.g\&. \fI@command\&.txt\fP)\&. Such a command argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file (multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator unless they appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation\&. Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file\&. This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file \fI/dumppat\&.txt\fP)\&. .SH "ENVIRONMENT" .PP The \fBdcmprscp\fP utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries specified in the \fIDCMDICTPATH\fP environment variable\&. By default, i\&.e\&. if the \fIDCMDICTPATH\fP environment variable is not set, the file \fI/dicom\&.dic\fP will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into the application (default for Windows)\&. .PP The default behavior should be preferred and the \fIDCMDICTPATH\fP environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are required\&. The \fIDCMDICTPATH\fP environment variable has the same format as the Unix shell \fIPATH\fP variable in that a colon (':') separates entries\&. On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator\&. The data dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in the \fIDCMDICTPATH\fP environment variable\&. It is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded\&. .SH "FILES" .PP \fI/dcmpstat\&.cfg\fP, \fI/printers\&.cfg\fP - sample configuration files .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBdcmprscu\fP(1) .SH "COPYRIGHT" .PP Copyright (C) 1999-2023 by OFFIS e\&.V\&., Escherweg 2, 26121 Oldenburg, Germany\&.
