dl5100wrof(8) System Manager's Manual 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] FLAGS Prints control characters. Tells the printer filter how to interpret the text. The following are valid values for data: To interpret the text as a PostScript file To interpret the text as a plain text file The -D flag overrides the output format that is automatically determined by the print filter. For example, the -D flag can be used to print the PostScript program file instead of the format- ted PostScript output. Identifies the font name used for print- ing 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. This name can contain non-ASCII characters. Specifies the amount of indentation. The default value is no (no indentation). Selects the input tray of the printer. Valid values for tray are the following: To automatically feed from the multi-purpose input To manually feed from the multi-purpose input To feed from the integral 250 sheet paper cassette Same as internal To feed from the optional large capacity tray Same as lcit To feed from the optional envelope feeder Specifies page length in lines. The default value is 60. Specifies the login name of the job owner. This name can contain non-ASCII characters. Specifies the paper orientation. The orientation value can be portrait or land- scape. 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 flag is therefore useful when printing output from such utilities. Currently, space compensation mode is supported only for the Thai language. 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 DIGITAL UNIX product. Refer to Thai(5) for more information on text morphing. Specifies page width in columns. The default value is 80. Specifies the file that records accounting infor- mation. DESCRIPTION The dl5100wrof filter is used to filter text or PostScript data printed on the DEClaser 5100 printer. The filter handles the device dependen- cies 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 parameter, can be downloaded to the printer by using the font-faulting mechanism. For information about font faulting, refer to i18n_print- ing(5). To find out which printer fonts are available for each sup- ported 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. Other- wise, non-ASCII characters in the flag page may not be printed prop- erly. 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: Specifies one or more of the following options: To specify the font name for printing non-ASCII text To enable space compensation mode To enable text morphing Specifies the input tray. Values are enve- lope_feeder, front, manual, internal, upper, lcit, or lower. 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.
