.ds dQ /usr/lib/postscript .TH POSTDAISY 1 "DWB 3.2" .SH NAME .B postdaisy \- PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files .SH SYNOPSIS \*(mBpostdaisy\f1 .OP "" options [] .OP "" files [] .SH DESCRIPTION .B postdaisy translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel .I files into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no .I files are specified, or if .OP \- is one of the input .IR files , the standard input is read. The following .I options are understood: .TP 0.75i .OP \-c num Print .I num copies of each page. By default only one copy is printed. .TP .OP \-f name Print .I files using font .IR name . Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results will only be obtained with constant width fonts. The default font is Courier. .TP .OP \-h num Set the initial horizontal motion index to .IR num . Determines the character advance and the default point size, unless the .OP \-s option is used. The default is 12. .TP .OP \-m num Magnify each logical page by the factor .IR num . Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near the upper left corner of each page. The default magnification is 1.0. .TP .OP \-n num Print .I num logical pages on each piece of paper, where .I num can be any positive integer. By default .I num is set to 1. .TP .OP \-o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated .IR list . The list contains single numbers .I N and ranges .IR N1\-\|N2 . A missing .I N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing .I N2 means the highest. .TP .OP \-p mode Print .I files in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP .IR mode . Only the first character of .I mode is significant. The default .I mode is \*(mBportrait\fP. .TP .OP \-r num Selects carriage return and line feed behavior. If .I num is 1 a line feed generates a carriage return. If .I num is 2 a carriage return generates a line feed. Setting .I num to 3 enables both modes. .TP .OP \-s num Use point size .I num instead of the default value set by the initial horizontal motion index. .TP .OP \-v num Set the initial vertical motion index to .IR num . The default is 8. .TP .OP \-x num Translate the origin .I num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the origin fixed near the upper left corner of the page, with positive x to the right and positive y down the page. Positive .I num moves everything right. The default offset is 0.25 inches. .TP .OP \-y num Translate the origin .I num inches along the positive y axis. Positive .I num moves text down the page. The default offset is 0.25 inches. .TP .OP \-E name Set the character encoding for text fonts to .IR name . Requesting .I name means include file .MI \*(dQ/ name .enc \f1. A nonexistent encoding file is silently ignored. The default selects file .MR \*(dQ/Default.enc . .TP .OP \-L file Use .I file as the PostScript prologue. .br The default is .MR \*(dQ/postdaisy.ps . .PP Three options allow insertion of arbitrary PostScript at controlled points in the translation process: .TP 0.75i .OP \-C file Copy .I file to the output file; .I file must contain legitimate PostScript. .TP .OP \-P string Include .I string in output file; .I string must be legitimate PostScript. .TP .OP \-R action Requests special .I action (e.g., .MR manualfeed ) on a per page or global basis. The .I action string can be given as .IR request , .IM request : page\f1\|, or .IM request : page : file\f1\|. If .I page is omitted or given as 0, the request applies to all pages. If .I file is omitted, the request lookup is done in .MR \*(dQ/ps.requests . .SH DIAGNOSTICS A 0 exit status is returned if .I files were successfully processed. .SH FILES .MW \*(dQ/postdaisy.ps .br .MW \*(dQ/forms.ps .br .MW \*(dQ/ps.requests .SH SEE ALSO .BR dpost (1), .BR postdmd (1), .BR postio (1), .BR postmd (1), .BR postprint (1), .BR postreverse (1), .BR posttek (1), .BR psencoding (1)
