# pbmto10x(1)

convert a PBM image into Gemini 10X printer graphics

## NAME

pbmto10x - convert a PBM image into Gemini 10X printer graphics

## SYNOPSIS

**pbmto10x** \[**-h**\] \[*pbmfile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**pbmto10x** reads a PBM image as input and produces a file of Gemini 10X printer graphics as output.  The 10x's printer codes are alleged to be similar to the Epson codes.

Note that there is no 10xtopbm tool - this transformation is one way.

## OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably **-quiet**, see \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), **pbmto10x** recognizes the following command line option:

- **-h**

  The resolution is normally 60H by 72V.  If you specify the **-h** option, resolution is 120H by 144V.  You may find it useful to rotate landscape images before printing.
