|
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>fax2ps</i>
|
|
reads one or more <small>TIFF</small> facsimile image files
|
|
and prints a compressed form of <br>
|
|
on the standard output that is suitable for printing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">By default,
|
|
each page is scaled to reflect the image dimensions and
|
|
resolutions stored in the file. The <b>−x</b> and
|
|
<b>−y</b> options can be used to specify the
|
|
horizontal and vertical image resolutions (lines/inch),
|
|
respectively. If the <b>−S</b> option is specified,
|
|
each page is scaled to fill an output page. The default
|
|
output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page dimensions
|
|
can be specified in inches with the <b>−W</b> and
|
|
<b>−H</b> options.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">By default
|
|
<i>fax2ps</i> generates for all pages in the file. The
|
|
<b>−p</b> option can be used to select one or more
|
|
pages from a multi-page document.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>fax2ps</i>
|
|
generates a compressed form of that is optimized for sending
|
|
pages of text to a printer attached to a host through a
|
|
low-speed link (such as a serial line). Each output page is
|
|
filled with white and then only the black areas are drawn.
|
|
The specification of the black drawing operations is
|
|
optimized by using a special font that encodes the move-draw
|
|
operations required to fill the black regions on the page.
|
|
This compression scheme typically results in a substantially
|
|
reduced description, relative to the straightforward imaging
|
|
of the page with a <i>image</i> operator. This algorithm
|
|
can, however, be ineffective for continuous-tone and
|
|
white-on-black images. For these images, it sometimes is
|
|
more efficient to send the raster bitmap image directly; see
|
|
<i>tiff2ps</i>(1).</p>

|
|
<h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Some messages
|
|
about malformed <small>TIFF</small> images come from the
|
|
<small>TIFF</small> library.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Various
|
|
messages about badly formatted facsimile images may be
|
|
generated due to transmission errors in received facsimile.
|
|
<i>fax2ps</i> attempts to recover from such data errors by
|
|
resynchronizing decoding at the end of the current scanline.
|
|
This can result in long horizontal black lines in the
|
|
resultant <br>
|
|
image.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="NOTES"></a>
|
|
<h2>NOTES</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If the
|
|
destination printer supports Level II then it is always
|
|
faster to just send the encoded bitmap generated by the
|
|
<b>tiff2ps</b>(1) program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="BUGS"></a>
|
|
<h2>BUGS</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>fax2ps</i>
|
|
should probably figure out when it is doing a poor job of
|
|
compressing the output and just generate <br>
|
|
to image the bitmap raster instead.</p>
