foo2zjs-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a ZJS printer stream
foo2zjs-wrapper [
options] [
ps-file]
foo2zjs-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
foo2zjs printer driver. This script reads a Postscript
ps-file
or standard input and converts it to Zenographics ZjStream printer format for
driving the Minolta/QMS 2300 DL network color laser printer and other
Zenographics-based printers.
This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be called
from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer database.
These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are
usually controlled on a per job basis.
- -c
- Print in color (else monochrome).
-
-C colormode

These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2zjs for a
particular printer.
-
-u xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the start of the printable region from
the upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any
other printers.
-
-l xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the
lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any
other printers.
-
-L mask
- Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the
ZjStream. foo2zjs-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal
page dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option is used to
move the position of the clipped image back to where it belongs on the
page. The default is to send the amount which was clipped by -u and -l,
and should be good in most cases.
| 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 monochrome-only printers, such as the HP LaserJet
1000.
-
-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.
-
-z model
- Model. Default is 0.

These are the options used to control the quality of color output. Color
correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
-
-g gsopts
- Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
-g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
once.
-
-G profile.icm
- Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering
dictionary (CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and adjust the printer colors
by using the Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN
PROGRESS).
-
-G gamma-file.ps
- Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to
perform color correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript
operator. For example, the file might contain:
{0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
-
-I intent
- Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual,
1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
These options are used for debugging
foo2zjs and its wrapper.
-
-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.

Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then
print it using a RAW print queue:
foo2zjs-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
zjsdecode < testpage.zm
lpr -P raw testpage.zm
Create a color ZjStream stream from a Postscript document:
foo2zjs-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
/usr/bin/foo2zjs-wrapper

zjsdecode(1)
