DESCRIPTION
foo2slx converts Ghostscript pbmraw, bitcmyk, or pksmraw output formats to monochrome or color SLX streams, for driving the Lexmark C500 network color laser printer and other SLZ- based printers. The SLX stream is a variant of ZjStream produced by Software Imaging K.K.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Normal Options These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are usually controlled on a per job basis. -c Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work. -g xpixxypix Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600]. -m media Media code to send to printer [0]. ─────────────────────── Media SLX ─────────────────────── plain 0 transparency 1 labels 2 thick1 3 envelope1 4 thin 5 thick2 6 envelope2 7 middle 8 special 9 -p paper Paper code to send to printer [6]. ┌───────────────┬─────────────┐ │ 6 letter │ 2 A4 │ │ 9 legal │ 4 B5 │ │ 8 executive │ 5 B5iso │ │10 env #10 │ 11 env DL │ └───────────────┴─────────────┘ -n copies Number of copies [1]. -r xresxyres Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600]. -s source Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [0]. │0 auto │ 1 cassette1 Printer Tweaking Options These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2slx 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 -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. Debugging Options These options are used for debugging foo2slx. -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].
