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.
