NAME
       foo2hiperc-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a HIPERC printer stream

SYNOPSIS
       foo2hiperc-wrapper [options] [ps-file]

DESCRIPTION
       foo2hiperc-wrapper  is  a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the foo2hiperc printer driver.	 This script reads a
       Postscript ps-file or standard input and converts it to the Oki HIPERC printer format for  driving  the	Oki  C310dn,
       C3100, C3200, C3300n, C3400n, C5100n, C5500n, C5600n and the C5800n HIPERC 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.

	      │			│
   Printer Tweaking Options	│
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hiperc 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].		│
	      │			│
       -l xoffxyoff		│
	      Set  the	offset	of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper
	      size].		│
	      │			│
       -L mask│			│
	      Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the HIPERC stream.	 foo2hiperc-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
	      │			│
       -z model			│
	      Model is 0 for non-A3 sized printers, and 1 for A3/Tabloid/Ledger sized printers (i.e. C810, etc.).   The	 de‐
	      fault is 0.	│
	      │			│
       -Z compressed		│
	      Use uncompressed (0) or compressed (1) JBIG data.
	      │			│
   Color Tweaking Options	│
       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  Post‐
	      script 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).	│
	      │			│
   Debugging Options		│
       These options are used for debugging foo2hiperc 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.
	      1	  Cyan
	      2	  Magenta
	      3	  Yellow
	      4	  Black

       -D level
	      Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES
       Create a monochrome HIPERC stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using nc(1) or netcat(1):

	      foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.hc
	      hipercdecode < testpage.hc
	      nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.hc

       Create a color HIPERC stream from a Postscript document:

	      foo2hiperc-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.hc
