foo2slx - Convert Ghostscript pbmraw or bitcmyk format into a SLX printer stream foo2slx [options] <pbmraw-file >slx-file

foo2slx [options] <bitcmyk-file >slx-file

foo2slx [options] <pksmraw-file >slx-file foo2slx converts Ghostscript pbmraw, bitcmyk, or pksmraw output formats to monochrome or color SLX streams, for driving the Lexmark C500 network color laser printer and other SLZ-based printers. The SLX stream is a variant of ZjStream produced by Software Imaging K.K.

These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are usually controlled on a per job basis.

-c: Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work.

-g xpixxypix: Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600].

-m media

Media code to send to printer [0].

Media	SLX
plain	0
transparency	1
labels	2
thick1	3
envelope1	4
thin	5
thick2	6
envelope2	7
middle	8
special	9

-p paper

Paper code to send to printer [6].

6	letter	2	A4
9	legal	4	B5
8	executive	5	B5iso
10	env #10	11	env DL

-n copies: Number of copies [1].

-r xresxyres: Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].

-s source

Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [0].

auto

cassette1

These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2slx 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 foo2slx.

-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 SLX stream:

gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE  
    -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw  
    -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps  
| foo2slx -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

Create a color SLX stream:

gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE  
    -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk  
    -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps  
| foo2slx -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
