14 ppmtomitsu - convert a portable pixmap to a Mitsubishi S340-10 file
15 !!SYNOPSIS

18 __ppmtomitsu__ [[-sharpness ''val''] [[__-enlarge__
19 ''val''] [[__-media__ ''string''] [[__-copy__

21 [[''ppmfile'']
22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
25 Reads a portable pixmap as input and converts it into a
26 format suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10
27 printer, or any other Mitsubishi color sublimation
28 printer.

31 The Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports
32 24bit color. Images of the available sizes take so long to
33 transfer that there is a fast method, employing a
34 lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will use if there is a maximum
35 of 256 colors in the pixmap. ppmtomitsu will try to position
36 your image to the center of the paper, and will rotate your
37 image for you if xsize is larger than ysize. If your image
38 is larger than the media allows, ppmtomitsu will quit with
39 an error message. (We decided that the media were too
40 expensive to have careless users produce misprints.) Once
41 data transmission has started, the job can't be stopped in a
42 sane way without resetting the printer. The printer
43 understands putting together images in the printers memory;
44 ppmtomitsu doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide the
45 same functionality and let you view the result on-screen,
46 too. The S340-10 is the lowest common denominator printer;
47 for higher resolution printers there's the dpi300 option.
48 The other printers also support higher values for enlarge
49 eg, but I don't think that's essential enough to warrant a
50 change in the program.
51
52
53 __-sharpness__ ''1-4''
54
55
56 'sharpness' designation. Default is to use the current
57 sharpness.
58
59
60 __-enlarge__ ''1-3''
61
62
63 Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
64
65
66 __-media__ ''A, A4, AS, A4S''
67
68
69 Designate the media you're using. Default is 1184 x 1350,
70 which will fit on any media. A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x
71 1452, AS is 1216 x 1650 and A4S is 1184 x 1754. A warning:
72 If you specify a different media than the printer currently
73 has, the printer will wait until you put in the correct
74 media or switch it off.
75
76
77 __-copy__ ''1-9''
78
79
80 The number of copies to produce. Default is 1.
81
82
83 __-dpi300__
84
85
86 Double the number of allowed pixels for a S3600-30 Printer
87 in S340-10 compatibility mode. (The S3600-30 has 300
88 dpi).
89
90
91 __-tiny__
92
93
94 Memory-safing, but always slow. The printer will get the
95 data line-by-line in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use
96 this if your machine starts paging a lot without this
97 option.
