       -n copies
              Number of copies [1].

       -r xresxyres
              Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].

       -s source
              Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [7].
              │          │
              │1   upper │ 4   manual
              │2   lower │ 7   auto

       -t     Draft mode.  Every other pixel is white.

       -J filename
              Filename string to send to printer.

       -U username
              Username string to send to printer.

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to customize  the  operation  of  foo2hbpl2  for  a  particular
       printer.

       -u xoffxyoff
              Set  the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in
              pixels [0x0].

       -l xoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right  corner,  in
              pixels [0x0].

       -L mask
              Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].

              0   don't send any logical clipping amounts
              1   only send Y clipping amount
              2   only send X clipping amount
              3   send both X and Y clipping amounts

       -P     Do  not  send  START_PLANE codes on monochrome output.  May be needed by some black
              and white only printers, such as the HP LaserJet 1000.

       -A     AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -B     BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -X padlen
              Add extra zero padding to the end of  BID  segments.   The  default  is  16  bytes.
              Padding  16  bytes  of  zeroes  is  needed for older ZjStream printers, such as the
              Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as  the
              Minolta 2300DL.  So the default should be good for all cases.

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2hbpl2.

       -S plane
              Output  just  a  single  color  plane  from a color print and print it on the black
              plane.  The default is to output all color planes.

              1   Cyan
              2   Magenta
              3   Yellow
              4   Black

       -D level
              Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES

       Create a black and white ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

       Create a color ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
