grolj4 is a driver for groff that produces output in PCL5 format suitable for an HP Laserjet 4 printer.

There is an additional drawing command available:

\D'R dh dv'

Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one corner at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the current position +(dh,dv). Afterwards the current position will be at the opposite corner. This generates a PCL fill rectangle command, and so will work on printers that do not support HPGL/2 unlike the other \D commands.

It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter.

-cn

Print n copies of each page.

-l

Print the document with a landscape orientation.

-d [n]

Use duplex mode n: 1 is long-side binding; 2 is short-side binding; default is 1.

-psize

Set the paper size to size, which must be one of letter, legal, executive, a4, com10, monarch, c5, b5, dl.

-v

Print the version number.

-wn

Set the default line thickness to n thousandths of an em. If this option isn't specified, the line thickness defaults to 0.04 em.

-Fdir

Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font and device description files; name is the name of the device, usually lj4.

The following four commands are available additionally in the font description files:

pclweight N

The integer value N must be in the range -7 to +7; default is 0.

pclstyle N

The integer value N must be in the range 0 to 32767; default is 0.
