COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -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
