DESCRIPTION
grolbp is a driver for groff that produces output in CAPSL and VDM
format suitable for Canon LBP-4 and LBP-8 printers.
For compatibility with grolj4 there is an additional drawing command
available:
\D'R dh dv'
Draw a rule (i.e. a solid black rectangle), with one corner at
the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the
current position +(dh,dv).
OPTIONS
Note that there can be whitespace between a one-letter option and its
argument; on the other hand, there must be whitespace and/or an equal
sign ('=') between a long-name option and its argument.
-cnumcopies
--copies=numcopies
Print numcopies copies of each page.
-l
--landscape
Print the document with a landscape orientation.
-ppaper_size
--papersize=paper_size
Set the paper size to paper_size, which must be a valid paper
size description as indicated in the section PAPER SIZES.
-oorientation
--orientation=orientation
Print the document with orientation orientation, which must be
'portrait' or 'landscape'.
-wwidth
--linewidth=width
Set the default line thickness to width thousandths of an em.
If this option isn't specified, the line thickness defaults to
0.04 em.
-v
--version
Print the version number.
-Fdir
--fontdir=dir
Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font and
device description files; name is the name of the device,
usually lbp.
-h
--help Print a short help text.
TYPEFACES
The driver supports the Dutch, Swiss and Swiss-Narrow scalable
typefaces, each one in the Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic
styles. Additionally, the Courier and Elite monospaced typefaces at
the sizes 8 and 12 points (for Courier) resp. 8 and 10 points (for
Elite) are supported, each one in the Regular, Bold and Italic styles.
The following chart summarizes the font names you can use to access
these fonts:
Typeface Regular Bold Italic Bold-Italic
Dutch TR TB TI TBI
Swiss HR HB HI HBI
Swiss Narrow HNR HNB HNI HNBI
Courier CR CB CI
Elite ER EB EI
PAPER SIZES
The paper size can be set in the DESC file or with command line options
to grolbp. If the paper size is specified both ways, the command line
options take precedence over the contents of the DESC file (this
applies to the page orientation too).
See groff_font(5) how to set the paper dimensions in the DESC file.
To set the paper size in the command line, add
-p paper-size
or
--papersize=paper-size
to the other grolbp options, where paper-size is in the same format as
in the DESC file.
If no paper size is specified in the DESC file or the command line, a
default size of A4 is used.
PAGE ORIENTATION
As with the page size, the orientation of the printed page (portrait or
landscape) can be set in the DESC file or with command line options.
It is also case insensitive.
To set the orientation in the DESC file, insert a line with the
following content:
orientation [portrait|landscape]
Only the first valid orientation command in the DESC file is used.
To set the page orientation with command line options you can use the
-o or --orientation option with the same parameters (portrait or
landscape) as in the DESC file. Or you can use the -l option to force
the pages to be printed in landscape.
FONT FILE FORMAT
In addition to the usual commands described in groff_font(5), grolbp
provides the command lbpname which sets the font name sent to the
printer when requesting this font. The syntax of this command is:
lbpname printer_font_name
* For bitmapped fonts, printer_font_name has the form
Nbase_fontnamefont_style
base_fontname is the font name as it appears in the printers
font listings without the first letter, up to (but not
including) the font size. font_style can be one of the letters
R, I, or B, indicating the font styles Roman, Italic and Bold
respectively.
For instance, if the printer's font listing A shows font
'Nelite12I.ISO_USA', the corresponding entry in the font
description file is
lbpname NeliteI
Note that you may need to modify grolbp to add support for new
bitmapped fonts, since the available font names and font sizes
of bitmapped fonts (as documented above) are hard-coded into the
program.
* For scalable fonts, printer_font_name is identical to the font
name as it appears in the printer's font listing A.
For instance, to select the 'Swiss' font in bold style, which
appears in the printer's font listing A as 'Swiss-Bold', the
required lbpname command line is
lbpname Swiss-Bold
The argument of lbpname is case sensitive.
