<small>OST</small> S <small>CRIPT</small> that fills a

printed area specified by the <small>TIFF</small> 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. The
|
|
<b>-w</b> and <b>-h</b> options (see below) can be used to

set the dimensions of the printed area in inches; overriding

this operator on older P <small>OST</small> S

The page size is set to 8.5x11 by <b>-w</b> and <b>-h</b>
|
|
options. We will accept a small amount of vertical
|
|
compression, so <b>-H</b> set to 14. Any pages between 11
|
|
and 14 inches will be fit onto one page. Pages longer than
|
|
14 inches are cut off at 11 and continued on the next page.
|
|
The <b>-L.5</b> option says to repeat a half inch on the
|
|
next page (to improve readability).</td></table>

Because P <small>OST</small> S <small>CRIPT</small> does not
|
|
support the notion of a colormap, 8-bit palette images
|
|
produce 24-bit P <small>OST</small> S <small>CRIPT</small>
|
|
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.</td></table>
