dl5100wrof(8)
NAME
  dl5100wrof - I18N filter for DEClaser 5100 printer

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/lbin/dl5100wrof [-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 printer filter how to interpret the text.  The following are
      valid values for data:

      post
	  To interpret the text as a PostScript file

      ascii
	  To interpret the text as a plain text file

      The -D option overrides the output format that is automatically
      determined by the print filter. For example, the -D option can be used
      to print the PostScript program file instead of the formatted
      PostScript output.

  -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. This name can contain 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.  Valid values for tray are the
      following:

      front
	  To automatically feed from the multi-purpose input

      manual
	  To manually feed from the multi-purpose input

      internal
	  To feed from the integral 250 sheet paper cassette

      upper
	  Same as internal

      lcit
	  To feed from the optional large capacity tray

      lower
	  Same as lcit

      envelope_feeder
	  To feed from the optional envelope feeder

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

  -n login
      Specifies the login name of the job owner. This name can contain non-
      ASCII characters.

  -O orientation
      Specifies the paper orientation.	The orientation 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.  The -S option is therefore useful when printing
      output from such utilities. Currently, space compensation mode is
      supported only for the Thai language.

  -t  Enables text morphing for Thai printing.	By replacing some characters
      with others, text morphing produces improved output in a desktop
      publishing environment. Rules for text morphing are vendor defined. The
      rules used by the print filter are supported only by the Thai outline
      fonts shipped with the Tru64 UNIX product. Refer to Thai(5) for more
      information on text morphing.

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

OPERANDS
  accounting_file
      Specifies the file that records accounting information.

DESCRIPTION
  The dl5100wrof filter is used to filter text or PostScript data printed on
  the DEClaser 5100 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
  completion time of each print job.

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

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

  The dl5100wrof filter is sensitive to the locale setting and, before
  printing a character, determines if it is a printable character in the
  current locale. Therefore, users must set locale appropriately before
  printing files that contain nonEnglish characters.


  The dl5100wrof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if
  fields in the /etc/printcap file.  If the login name and host name contain
  non-ASCII characters, you must specify dl5100wrof as the filter in the of
  field.  Otherwise, you can omit the value for this field.

  If you specify th dl5100wrof filter in the of field, consider also defining
  the yj field in /etc/printcap.  The yj value forces the lpd daemon to pass
  the parameter to the print filter for every job. Otherwise, non-ASCII
  characters in the flag page may not be printed properly.

  For further information about defining the of and if fields in entries of
  the /etc/printcap file, see printcap(4).

NOTES
  When used with the dl5100wrof print filter, the lpr command can include the
  following flags, along with the listed options or parameter values:

  -A  Specifies one or more of the following options:

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

      spcom
	  To enable space compensation mode

      tm  To enable text morphing

  -I  Specifies the input tray. Values are envelope_feeder, front, manual,
      internal, upper, lcit, or lower.

  -O  Specifies the page orientation.  Values are portrait or landscape.

  For more information on the lpr command, refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS
  The lf field in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error
  logging file. The default value for this field is /dev/null.
