- -U username
- Username string to send to printer.
Printer Tweaking Options¶
These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2hbpl2 for a
particular printer.
- -u xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -l xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -L mask
- Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].
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 |
- -P
- Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be needed by some
black and white only printers, such as the HP LaserJet 1000.
- -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.
- -X padlen
- Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default is 16
bytes. Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older ZjStream printers,
such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet 1000, and seems harmless to
newer ones, such as the Minolta 2300DL. So the default should be good for
all cases.
Debugging Options¶
These options are used for debugging
foo2hbpl2.
- -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.

- -D level
- Set Debug level [0].
EXAMPLES¶
Create a black and white ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
