reads

<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>

images and writes P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> or Encapsulated P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> (EPS)
|
||
|
|
on the standard output.
|
||
|
|
By default,
|
||
|
|
<I>tiff2ps</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
writes Encapsulated P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> for the first image in the specified
|
||
|
|
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
|
||
|
|
image file.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|

|
|

||
|
|
By default,
|
||
|
|
<I>tiff2ps</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
will generate P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> that fills a printed area specified
|
||
|
|
by the
|
||
|
|
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
|
||
|
|
tags in the input file.
|
||
|
|
If the file does not contain
|
||
|
|
<I>XResolution</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
<I>YResolution</I>

||
|

tags, then the printed area is set according to the image dimensions.

options (see below)

overriding any relevant

The P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> generated for

|
When the

<I>colorimage</I>
|

|
|
|

operator is used, P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> code to emulate this operator
|
||
|
|
on older P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> printers is also generated.
|
||
|
|
Note that this emulation code can be very slow.

When generating P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> Level II, data is scaled so that it does not
|
||
|
|
image into the
|
||
|
|
<I>deadzone</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
on a page (the outer margin that the printing device is unable to mark).
|
||
|
|
This option suppresses this behaviour.
|
||
|
|
When P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> Level I is generated, data is imaged to the entire printed
|
||
|
|
page and this option has no affect.

The following generates P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> Level II for all pages of a facsimile:
|
||
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT><DD>
|
||
|
|
<PRE>
|
||
|
|
tiff2ps -a2 fax.tif | lpr

|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</DL>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note also that if you have version 2.6.1 or newer of Ghostscript then you
|
||
|
|
can efficiently preview facsimile generated with the above command.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To generate Encapsulated P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> for a the image at directory 2
|
||
|
|
of an image use:
|
||
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT><DD>
|
||
|
|
<PRE>
|
||
|
|
tiff2ps -d 1 foo.tif
|
||
|
|
</PRE>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</DL>
|
||
|
|

(notice that directories are numbered starting at zero.)

<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> does not support the notion of a colormap,
|
||
|
|
8-bit palette images produce 24-bit P<FONT SIZE="-2">OST</FONT>S<FONT SIZE="-2">CRIPT</FONT> images.
|
||
|
|
This conversion results in output that is six times
|
||
|
|
bigger than the original image and which takes a long time
|
||
|
|
to send to a printer over a serial line.
|
||
|
|
Matters are even worse for 4-, 2-, and 1-bit palette images.
