   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 bal‐
	      ance 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
