pbmtoibm23xx1

Convert a pbm image to ibm 23xx printer stream

Overview

This program is part of Netpbm(1) .

pbmtoibm23xx reads one or more PBM files as input and writes an IBM 23XX printer command stream to generate all the images in all the files to Standard Output.

If you don't specify any file names, pbmtoibm23xx reads from Standard Input.

Options

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pbmtoibm23xx recognizes the following command line options:

-xres=dpi

This option specifies the horizontal resolution in dots per inch. Valid values are 60, 120, and 240.

This option is mandatory.

-yres=dpi

This option specifies the vertical resolution in dots per inch. Valid values are 60, 120, and 240.

This option is mandatory.

-slow

Use the slower printing mode where two modes with the same resolution are available. This usually produces better quality prints. This affects only modes with horizontal resolution 120, but might affect other modes in future versions of the program.

Limitations

There are probably better ways to control the IBM 23XX printers. Let me know if you find any.
