--- name: "foo2lava-wrapper" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "printer-driver-foo2zjs-common" version: "20200505dfsg0-3" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/foo2lava-wrapper" --- # foo2lava-wrapper(1) foo2lava-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a LAVAFLOW or OPL printer stream **foo2lava-wrapper** \[*options*\] \[*ps-file*\] **foo2lava-wrapper** is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the **foo2lava** printer driver. This script reads a Postscript *ps-file* or standard input and converts it to Zenographics LAVAFLOW printer format for driving the Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W color laser printer, the Konica Minolta magicolor 1680MF/1690MF AIO printer, the Konica Minolta magicolor 2480/2490 MF AIO printer, the Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL network color laser printer, and other Zenographics-based LAVAFLOW printers. This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer database. These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are usually controlled on a per job basis. - **-c** Print in color (else monochrome). - **-C** *colormode* Color correction mode \[0\]. | | | | --- | --- | | 1 | Photos (using m2300w CRDs) | | 2 | Photos and text (using m2300w CRDs) | | 3 | Graphics and text (using m2300w CRDs) | | 10 | ICM color profile (using -G \*.icm file) | - **-d** *duplex* Duplex code to send to printer \[1\]. | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | off | 2 | long edge | 3 | short edge | - **-m** *media* Media code to send to printer \[0\]. | | | | --- | --- | | Media | 2530DL | | plain | 0 | | transparency | 4 | | thick stock | 20 | | envelope | 22 | | letterhead | 23 | | postcard | 25 | | labels | 26 | | recycled | 27 | - **-p** *paper* Paper size code to send to printer \[2\]. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | executive | 25 | A5 | | 2 | letter | 26 | A4 | | 3 | legal | 45 | B5jis | | 80 | env Monarch | 65 | B5iso | | 81 | env #10 | 90 | env DL | | 91 | env C5 | 92 | env B5 | | 835 | 4x6" photo | 837 | 10x15cm photo | - **-n** *copies* Number of copies \[1\]. - **-r** *xres***x***yres* Set device resolution in pixels/inch \[1200x600\]. - **-s** *source* Source (Input Slot) code to send to printer \[255\]. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Tray 1 | 255 | auto | | 4 | Tray 2 | | - **-t** Draft mode. Every other pixel is white. - **-2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -8 -9 -10 -12 -14 -15 -16 -18** Print in N-up. Requires the **psutils** package. - **-o** *orient* Orientation used for N-up. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Portrait | -op | (normal) | | Landscape | -ol | (rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise) | | Seascape | -os | (rotated 90 degrees clockwise) | These are the options used to customize the operation of **foo2lava** for a particular printer. - **-u** *xoff***x***yoff* Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels \[varies with paper size\]. The defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other printers. - **-l** *xoff***x***yoff* Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels \[varies with paper size\]. The defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other printers. - **-L** *mask* Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the LAVAFLOW stream. **foo2lava-wrapper** always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases. | | | | --- | --- | | 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 | - **-z** *model* Model. The default is \[0\]. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | model | protocol | Description | | 0 | LAVAFLOW | magicolor 2490 MF | | 0 | LAVAFLOW | magicolor 2530 DL | | 1 | OPL | magicolor 2480 MF | | 2 | LAVAFLOW | magicolor 1600W | | 2 | LAVAFLOW | magicolor 1680MF | | 2 | LAVAFLOW | magicolor 1690MF | These are the options used to control the quality of color output. Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS. - **-g** *gsopts* Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than once. - **-G** *profile.icm* Convert *profile.icm* to a Postscript color rendering dictionary (CRD) using **foo2zjs-icc2ps** and adjust the printer colors by using the Postscript **setcolorrendering** operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS). - **-G** *gamma-file.ps* Prepend *gamma-file.ps* to the Postscript input to perform color correction using the **setcolortransfer** Postscript operator. For example, the file might contain:\ {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer - **-I** *intent* Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual). These options are used for debugging **foo2lava** and its wrapper. - **-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 monochrome LAVAFLOW stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue: ``` foo2lava-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm lavadecode < testpage.zm lpr -P raw testpage.zm ``` Create a color LAVAFLOW stream from a Postscript document: ``` foo2lava-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc ``` **/usr/bin/foo2lava-wrapper** [**foo2lava**(1)](/foo2lava/1.md), [**lavadecode**(1)](/lavadecode/1.md) [**opldecode**(1)](/opldecode/1.md) Rick Richardson \\ http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
