NAME

       g3tolj - converts a Group 3 fax file into a printable HP-PCL file

SYNOPSIS

       g3tolj  [-kludge]  [-reversebits]  [-scale N]  [-aspect N] [-resolution 75|100|150|300] [-compress 0|1|2]
       [-pagelength N] [-duplength N] [g3file]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Group 3 fax file (raw or digifax) as input. If no filename is given, stdin is used.   Produces  a
       printable HP-PCL file as output.

OPTIONS

       -kludge
              Tells g3tolj to skip the first lines for synchronisation.

       -reversebits
              Tells  g3tolj  to  interpret bits least-significant first, instead of the default most-significant
              first.  Apparently some fax modems do it one way and others do it the other way.   If  you  get  a
              whole bunch of "invalid code" messages, try using this flag.

       -scale N
              Scale  the  output  to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.40 will do in
              most cases.

       -aspect N
              Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.0  will  do  for
              high resolution faxes, 2.0 will do for low resolution faxes.

       -resolution 75|100|150|300
              Selects print resolution. The default is 300.

       -compress 0|1|2
              Selects compression method for the print output. 0 = none, 1 = rll, 2 = tiff.  The default is 0.

       -pagelength N
              Defines the pagelength in inches, the default is 10.95. After this length a pagebreak is generated
              and the last part of the previous page is duplicated on the next page

       -duplength N
              Defines the length in inches that will be duplicated after a pagebreak, The default is 0.7.

       The standard for Group 3 fax is defined in CCITT Recommendation T.4.
