NAME
       ppmtopjxl - convert a PPM image to an HP PaintJet XL PCL file

SYNOPSIS
       ppmtopjxl  [-nopack]  [-gamma  n]  [-presentation]  [-dark]  [-diffuse]	[-cluster] [-dither] [-xshift s] [-yshift s]
       [-xshift s] [-yshift s] [{-xsize|-width|-xscale} s] [{-ysize|-height|-yscale} s] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmtopjxl reads a PPM image as input and produces a PCL file suitable for printing on an HP PaintJet  XL	 printer  as
       output.

       The  generated  file  is not suitable for printing on a normal PrintJet printer.	 The -nopack option generates a file
       which does not use the normal TIFF 4.0 compression method and thus might be printable on a  normal  PaintJet  printer
       (not an XL).

OPTIONS
       In  addition  to	 the  options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see  Common Options ),
       ppmtopjxl recognizes the following command line options:

       -nopack

	      Generate a file which does not use the normal TIFF 4.0 compression method. This file might be printable  on  a
	      normal PaintJet printer (not an XL).

       -gamma

	      Set the gamma correction for the image. The useful range for the PaintJet XL is approximately 0.6 to 1.5.

       -dither, -cluster, -diffuse

	      Alter  the  rendering  algorithm	used  for images.  These options select ordered dithering, clustered ordered
	      dithering, or error diffusion respectively.

       -dark

	      Enhance images with a dark background when they are reduced in size.

       -presentation

	      Turn on presentation mode, in which two passes are made over the paper to increase ink  density.	 You  should
	      use this only for images where quality is critical.

       -xsize, -ysize

	      Resize  the  image.   The parameter to either of these options is interpreted as the number of dots to set the
	      width or height to, but you may append an	 optional  dimension  of  `pt'	(points),  `dp'	 (decipoints),	`in'
	      (inches), or `cm' (centimetres).	If you specify only one dimension, ppmtopjxl will scale the other one appro‐
	      priately.

       -width, -height

	      Synonyms of -xsize and -ysize.

       -xscale, -yscale

	      Alternatives to -xsize and -ysize.  Scale the image by a simple factor.

       -xshift, -yshift

	      Shift the image on the page.  These move the image the specified dimensions right and down.
