       -n copies
              Number of copies [1].

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

       -s source
              Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [255].

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to  customize  the  operation  of  foo2qpdl  for  a  particular
       printer.

       -a b,c,s,cr,mg,yb
              Color  Adjust:  brightness,  contrast,  saturation, cyan-red balance, magenta-green
              balance, and yellow-blue balance from 0 to 100.  The default is  50,50,50,50,50,50.
              This only works when the -z3 (e.g. CLP-365) model is set!

       -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 QPDL stream [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.

       -z model
              Printer model. Model 0 is the default.

              model   Description
              0       CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
              1       CLP-600
              2       CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175
              3       CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl.

       -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 QPDL stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2qpdl -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p0 >testpage.zm

       Create a color QPDL stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2qpdl -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p0 >testpage.zc
