|
|
|

|
|
|
128 |
The driver supports the Dutch, Swiss and Swiss-Narrow |
|
|
129 |
scalable typefaces, each one in the Regular, Bold, Italic |
|
|
130 |
and Bold-Italic styles. Additionally, the Courier and Elite |
|
|
131 |
monospaced typefaces at the sizes 8 and 12 points (for |
|
|
132 |
Courier) resp. 8 and 10 points (for Elite) are supported, |
|
|
133 |
each one in the Regular, Bold and Italic |
|
|
134 |
styles. |
|
|
135 |
|
|

The following chart summarizes the font names you can use to |
|
|
138 |
access these fonts: |
|
|
139 |
!!PAPER SIZES |
|
|
140 |
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
The paper size can be set in the __DESC__ file or with command line options to __grolbp__. If the paper size is specified both ways, the command line options take precedence over the contents of the __DESC__ file (this applies to the page orientation too). |
|
|
143 |
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
To set the paper size in the __DESC__ file, insert in |
|
|
146 |
that file a line containing __papersize__ |
|
|
147 |
''desired_papersize'', where ''desired_papersize'' |
|
|
148 |
is: |
|
|
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
|
151 |
One of the recognized paper sizes: `a4', `letter', `legal' |
|
|
152 |
or `executive'. |
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
A custom defined paper size, as described in the __CUSTOM |
|
|
156 |
PAPER SIZES__ subsection below. |
|
|
157 |
|
|
|
158 |
|
|
|
159 |
The name of a file (e.g. ''/etc/papersize'') whose first |
|
|
160 |
line must be the desired paper size in one of the above |
|
|
161 |
formats. |
|
|
162 |
|
|
|
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
If there are various papersize lines in the __DESC__ |
|
|
165 |
file, only the first valid one is used. |
|
|
166 |
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
To set the paper size in the command line, add |
|
|
169 |
|
|
|
170 |
|
|
|
171 |
__-p__ ''desired_papersize'' |
|
|
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
or |
|
|
175 |
|
|
|
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
__--papersize=__''desired_papersize'' |
|
|
178 |
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
|
180 |
to the other __grolbp__ options, where |
|
|
181 |
__desired_papersize__ is in the same format as in the |
|
|
182 |
__DESC__ file. |
|
|
183 |
|
|
|
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
Paper sizes are case insensitive (i.e., `A4' is the same as |
|
|
186 |
`a4'). |
|
|
187 |
|
|
|
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
If no paper size is specified in the __DESC__ file or the |
|
|
190 |
command line, a default size of A4 is used. |
|
|
191 |
!!CUSTOM PAPER SIZES |
|
|
192 |
Custom defined paper sizes are in the form |
|
|
193 |
__cust__''length''__x__''width'' where |
|
|
194 |
''length'' and ''width'' are the dimensions of the |
|
|
195 |
paper you want to to use, specified in printer units (1/300 |
|
|
196 |
of an inch). For instance, to print in a postcard sized |
|
|
197 |
paper which is two inches long and four inches wide you can |
|
|
198 |
insert a line containing |
|
|
199 |
|
|
|
200 |
|
|
|
201 |
__papersize cust600x1200__ |
|
|
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
|
|
|
204 |
at the beginning of the __DESC__ file. |
|
|
205 |
!!PAGE ORIENTATION |
|
|
206 |
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
As with the page size, the orientation of the printed page |
|
|
209 |
(__portrait__ or __landscape__) can be set in the |
|
|
210 |
__DESC__ file or with command line options. It is also |
|
|
211 |
case insensitive. |
|
|
212 |
|
|
|
213 |
|
|
|
214 |
To set the orientation in the __DESC__ file, insert a |
|
|
215 |
line with the following content: |
|
|
216 |
|
|
|
217 |
|
|
|
218 |
__orientation__ |
|
|
219 |
[[__portrait__|__landscape__] |
|
|
220 |
|
|
|
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
As with paper sizes, only the first valid orientation |
|
|
223 |
command in the __DESC__ file is used. |
|
|
224 |
|
|
|
225 |
|
|
|
226 |
To set the page orientation with command line options you |
|
|
227 |
can use the __-o__ or __--orientation__ option with |
|
|
228 |
the same parameters (__portrait__ or __landscape__) as |
|
|
229 |
in the __DESC__ file. Or you can use the __-l__ option |
|
|
230 |
to force the pages to be printed in landscape. |
|
|
231 |
!!FONT FILE FORMAT |
|
|
232 |
|
|
|
233 |
|
|
|
234 |
In addition to the usual commands described in |
4 |
perry |
235 |
groff_font(5), __grolbp__ provides the command |
1 |
perry |
236 |
''lbpname'' which sets the font name sent to the printer |
|
|
237 |
when requesting this font. The syntax of this command |
|
|
238 |
is: |
|
|
239 |
|
|
|
240 |
|
|
|
241 |
__lbpname__ ''printer_font_name'' |
|
|
242 |
|
|
|
243 |
|
|
|
244 |
For bitmapped fonts, ''printer_font_name'' has the |
|
|
245 |
form |
|
|
246 |
|
|
|
247 |
|
|
|
248 |
N''base_fontname''''font_style'' |
|
|
249 |
|
|
|
250 |
|
|
|
251 |
''base_fontname'' is the font name as it appears in the |
|
|
252 |
printers font listings without the first letter, up to (but |
|
|
253 |
not including) the font size. ''font_style'' can be one |
|
|
254 |
of the letters __R__, __I__, or __B__, indicating |
|
|
255 |
the font styles Roman, Italic and Bold |
|
|
256 |
respectively. |
|
|
257 |
|
|
|
258 |
|
|
|
259 |
For instance, if the printer's ''font listing A'' shows |
|
|
260 |
font `Nelite12I.ISO_USA', the corresponding entry in the |
|
|
261 |
font description file is |
|
|
262 |
|
|
|
263 |
|
|
|
264 |
__lbpname NeliteI__ |
|
|
265 |
|
|
|
266 |
|
|
|
267 |
Note that you may need to modify __grolbp__ to add |
|
|
268 |
support for new bitmapped fonts, since the available font |
|
|
269 |
names and font sizes of bitmapped fonts (as documented |
|
|
270 |
above) are hard-coded into the program. |
|
|
271 |
|
|
|
272 |
|
|
|
273 |
For scalable fonts, ''printer_font_name'' is identical to |
|
|
274 |
the font name as it appears in the printer's ''font listing |
|
|
275 |
A''. |
|
|
276 |
|
|
|
277 |
|
|
|
278 |
For instance, to select the `Swiss' font in bold style, |
|
|
279 |
which appears in the printer's ''font listing A'' as |
|
|
280 |
`Swiss-Bold', the required __lbpname__ command line |
|
|
281 |
is |
|
|
282 |
|
|
|
283 |
|
|
|
284 |
__lbpname Swiss-Bold__ |
|
|
285 |
|
|
|
286 |
|
|
|
287 |
The argument of __lbpname__ is case |
|
|
288 |
sensitive. |
