.SH NAME
foo2hbpl2-wrapper \- Convert Postscript into a ZJS printer stream
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B foo2hbpl2-wrapper
.RI [ options "] [" ps-file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B foo2hbpl2-wrapper
is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the \fBfoo2hbpl2\fP printer driver.
This script reads a Postscript \fIps-file\fP or standard input
and converts it to Zenographics ZjStream printer format
for driving the
Dell 1355, Dell C1765,
Epson AcuLaser M1400,
Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205,
Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P205,
Xerox WorkCentre 3045 MFP,
and Xerox WorkCentre 6015 MFP printers.
.P
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.

.SS Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of \fBfoo2hbpl2\fP
for a particular printer.
.TP
.BI \-u\0 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.
.TP
.BI \-l\0 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.
.TP
.BI \-L\0 mask
Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
\fBfoo2hbpl2-wrapper\fP 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.
.TS
l l.
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
.TE
.TP
.BI \-P
Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output.  May be
needed by some monochrome-only printers, such as the
HP LaserJet 1000.
.TP
.BI \-X\0 padlen
Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments.  The default is
16 bytes.  Padding 16 bytes of zeroes
is needed for older ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL
and HP LaserJet 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as
the Minolta 2300DL.  So the default should be good for all cases.
.SS Color Tweaking Options
These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
.TP
.BI \-g\0 gsopts
Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as -g\(lq-dDITHERPPI=nnn\(rq,
etc.  This option may appear more than once.
.TP
.BI \-G\0 profile.icm
Convert \fIprofile.icm\fP to a Postscript color rendering
dictionary (CRD) using \fBfoo2zjs-icc2ps\fP and
adjust the printer colors by using the Postscript \fBsetcolorrendering\fP
operator.  (WORK IN PROGRESS).
.TP
.BI \-G\0 gamma-file.ps
Prepend \fIgamma-file.ps\fP to the Postscript input to perform
color correction using the \fBsetcolortransfer\fP Postscript operator.
For example, the file might contain:
.br
{0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
.TP
.BI \-I\0 intent
Select profile intent from the ICM file.
0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute.
Default is 0 (perceptual).
.SS Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging \fBfoo2hbpl2\fP and its wrapper.
.TP
.BI \-S\0 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.
.TS
l l.
1	Cyan
2	Magenta
3	Yellow
4	Black
.TE
.TP
.BI \-D\0 level
Set Debug level [0].

examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue:

.RS
.nf
foo2hbpl2-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.prn
hbpl2decode < testpage.prn
lpr -P raw testpage.prn
.fi
.RE
.P
Create a color ZjStream stream from a Postscript document:
