dl1152wrof(8)
NAME
  dl1152wrof - I18N filter for DEClaser 1152 printer

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/lbin/dl1152wrof [-c] [-D data] [-f font] [-h host] [-i indent] [-I
  tray] [-l length] [-n login] [-O orientation] [-S] [-t] [-w width]
  [accounting_file]

OPTIONS
  -c  Prints control characters.

  -D data
      Tells the print filter how to interpret the text.	 The valid values for
      data are:

      post
	  Interprets the text as a PostScript file.

      ascii
	  Interprets the text as a text file.

      This option overrides the format that is automatically determined by
      the print filter. For example, the option would be useful if users want
      to print the PostScript program file instead of the output generated by
      that file.

  -f font
      Identifies the font name used for printing non-ASCII characters.	If
      this value is omitted, Courier font is used and only 7-bit characters
      are printed.

  -h host
      Specifies the host name of the job owner. The host name can include
      non-ASCII characters.

  -i indent
      Specifies the amount of indentation. The default value is no (no
      indentation).

  -I tray
      Selects the input tray of the printer.  The valid values for tray are:

      front
	  Automatic feed from the multi-purpose input.

      manual
	  Manual feed from the multi-purpose input.

      cassette
	  Feed from the optional tray-fed input.

  -l length
      Specifies the page length in lines. The default value is 60.

  -n login
      Specifies the login name of the job owner. The login name can include
      non-ASCII characters.

  -O orientation
      Specifies the paper orientation.	The value can be portrait or
      landscape.

  -S  Enables space compensation mode for printing text files in a language
      that has non-spacing characters.	Non-spacing characters can combine
      with other characters for display and therefore do not occupy space.
      Many of the existing tools for text alignment cannot handle non-spacing
      characters properly.  If you have output from such utilities, you can
      enable space compensation mode to ensure proper alignment in printed
      output. Currently, space compensation mode is supported only for
      printing in the Thai language.

  -t  Enables text morphing for Thai printing.	By replacing some Thai
      characters with others, text morphing produces better output in the
      desktop publishing environment. See Thai(5) for more information about
      text morphing.  Text-morphing rules are vendor-specific. The ones
      applied by this filter can be used with the Thai outline fonts that are
      included in the worldwide support subsets for the Tru64 UNIX product.

  -w width
      Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is 80.

OPERANDS
  accounting_file
      Specifies the file to record accounting information.

DESCRIPTION
  The dl1152wrof filter is needed to filter non-ASCII text or PostScript data
  for the DEClaser 1152 printer. The filter handles the device dependencies
  of the printer and performs accounting functions.  Accounting records are
  written to the file specified by the af field in /etc/printcap at the time
  of completion for each job.

  The dl1152wrof filter can handle plain text files, files preprocessed by
  nroff, and PostScript files generated from other applications. All these
  output files may contain non-ASCII characters.

  The font used for printing non-ASCII characters, as specified by the -f
  option, can be downloaded to the printer using the font-faulting mechanism.
  Refer to i18n_printing(5) for information on font faulting.  To find out
  which fonts are available for a specific codeset, refer to the reference
  page for that codeset.

  The dl1152wrof filter is sensitive to the user locale setting. Therefore,
  the filter can determine before printing a character if it is a printable
  character in the user's current locale.  Users must therefore set their
  locale appropriately before using this filter to print files in languages
  other than English.

  The dl1152wrof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if
  fields in the /etc/printcap file.  If there are non-ASCII characters in the
  login name or host name, dl1152wrof must be specified in the of field.
  Otherwise, you can ignore the value for the of field.


  If you specify dl1152wrof in the of field, also consider adding a value for
  yj in /etc/printcap.	The yj value forces the lpd command to pass the
  parameter to the print filter for every job. Otherwise, any non-ASCII
  characters in the flag page may not be printed properly.


  For further information about values for the of and if fields, refer to
  printcap(4).

NOTES
  The lpr(1) reference page includes a complete list of the flags and options
  supported by the lpr command. The following ones are appropriate for use
  with the dl1152wrof print filter:

  -A flag

      font option
	  To specify the font name for printing non-ASCII text.

      spcom option
	  To enable space compensation mode.

      tm option
	  To enable text morphing.

  -I flag
      Specifies input tray. Appropriate parameter values are front, manual,
      or cassette.

  -O  Specifies orientation.   Appropriate parameter values are portrait or
      landscape.

ERRORS
  The /etc/printcap file specifies a pathname value in the lf field. This
  value (by default, /dev/null) is the name of the file in which errors are
  logged.
