<p><i>fax2ps</i> reads one or more <small>TIFF</small>
|
|
|
54 |
facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of on the
|

|
55 |
standard output that is suitable for printing.</p>
|

56 |
<!-- INDENTATION -->
|
|
|
57 |
<p>By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image
|
|
|
58 |
dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The
|
|
|
59 |
<b>−x</b> and <b>−y</b> options can be used to
|
|
|
60 |
specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions
|
|
|
61 |
(lines/inch), respectively. If the <b>−S</b> option is
|
|
|
62 |
specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page. The
|
|
|
63 |
default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page
|
|
|
64 |
dimensions can be specified in inches with the
|
|
|
65 |
<b>−W</b> and <b>−H</b> options.</p>
|
|
|
66 |
<!-- INDENTATION -->
|
|
|
67 |
<p>By default <i>fax2ps</i> generates for all pages in the
|
|
|
68 |
file. The <b>−p</b> option can be used to select one
|
|
|
69 |
or more pages from a multi-page document.</p>
|

<!-- INDENTATION -->
|
|

71 |
<p><i>fax2ps</i> generates a compressed form of that is
|
|
|
72 |
optimized for sending pages of text to a printer attached to
|
|
|
73 |
a host through a low-speed link (such as a serial line).
|
|
|
74 |
Each output page is filled with white and then only the
|
|
|
75 |
black areas are drawn. The specification of the black
|
|
|
76 |
drawing operations is optimized by using a special font that
|
|
|
77 |
encodes the move-draw operations required to fill the black
|
|
|
78 |
regions on the page. This compression scheme typically
|
|
|
79 |
results in a substantially reduced description, relative to
|
|
|
80 |
the straightforward imaging of the page with a <i>image</i>
|
|
|
81 |
operator. This algorithm can, however, be ineffective for
|
|
|
82 |
continuous-tone and white-on-black images. For these images,
|
|
|
83 |
it sometimes is more efficient to send the raster bitmap
|
|
|
84 |
image directly; see <i>tiff2ps</i>(1).</p>
