dl1152wrof(8) System Manager's Manual 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] FLAGS Prints control characters. Tells the print filter how to interpret the text. The valid values for data are: Interprets the text as a Post- Script file. Interprets the text as a text file. This flag overrides the format that is automatically determined by the print filter. For example, the flag would be useful if users want to print the PostScript program file instead of the output generated by that file. 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. Specifies the host name of the job owner. The host name can in- clude non-ASCII characters. Specifies the amount of indenta- tion. The default value is no (no indentation). Selects the in- put tray of the printer. The valid values for tray are: Auto- matic feed from the multi-purpose input. Manual feed from the multi-purpose input. Feed from the optional tray-fed input. Specifies the page length in lines. The default value is 60. Specifies the login name of the job owner. The login name can include non-ASCII characters. Specifies the paper orientation. The value can be portrait or landscape. Enables space compensa- tion 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 util- ities, 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. Enables text morphing for Thai printing. By replacing some Thai charac- ters with others, text morphing produces better output in the desktop publishing environment. See Thai(5) for more informa- tion about text morphing. Text-morphing rules are vendor-spe- cific. The ones applied by this filter can be used with the Thai outline fonts that are included in the worldwide support subsets for DIGITAL UNIX product. Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is 80. PARAMETERS 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 de- pendencies of the printer and performs accounting functions. Account- ing 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 parameter, 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. There- fore, 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 char- acters 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 op- tions supported by the lpr command. The following ones are appropriate for use with the dl1152wrof print filter: To specify the font name for printing non-ASCII text. To enable space compensation mode. To enable text morphing. Specifies input tray. Appropriate parameter values are front, manual, or cassette. Specifies orientation. Appropriate para- meter 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.
