off

long edge

short edge

-g xpixxypix: Set page dimensions in pixels [5100x6600].

-m media

Media code to send to printer [1].

Media	Code
plain&recycled	1
paper	2
thin	3
thick	4
recycled	5

-p paper

Paper code to send to printer [1].

1	letter	5	A4
2	legal	6	A5
3	executive	7	A6
4	invoice(5.5x8.5)	8	B5 JIS
		10	16k 197x273
11	16k 184x260	12	16k 195x270

-n copies: Number of copies [1].

-r xresxyres: Set device resolution in pixels/inch [600x600].

-s source

tray 1

manual

-t: Draft mode. Every other pixel is white.

-T density: Print density (1-5). The default is 3 (medium).

-J filename: Filename string to send to printer.

-U username: Username string to send to printer. These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2ddst for a particular printer.

-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 ZjStream [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. These options are used for debugging foo2ddst.

-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].

Create a black and white DDST stream:

gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE  
    -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw  
    -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps  
| foo2ddst -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
