     NAME
          di10 - Postprocessor for the IMAGEN laser printer

     SYNOPSIS
          di10 [ option ] ... [ file ] ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Di10 prints files created by troff(1) on an IMAGEN laser
          printer.  If no file is mentioned, the standard input is
          printed.

          The following options are understood.

          -olist  Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-
                  separated list.  The list contains single numbers N
                  and ranges N1-N2.  A missing N1 means the lowest-
                  numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest.

          -t      Direct output to the standard output instead of the
                  typesetter.

          -rn     Resolution of printer is n dots per inch.  Di10 will
                  adjust its choice of raster files to produce
                  properly scaled output.  The default is 240 dots per
                  inch.

          The files submitted to di10 should be prepared under the
          -Ti10 option of troff.

     FILES
          /usr/lib/font/devi10/*          description files
          /usr/lib/font/devi10/rasti10/*  raster files for laser
          printer
          /tmp/dimp*                      output ready for laser
          printer

     BUGS
          The fonts accessed by this filter are 240 dpi, rather than
          the 300 dpi that the printer expects.

          We recommend that you use the dimp output filter; it allows
          you to access the 300 dpi font descriptions.

          If you do use di10, body text will appear to be too small by
          about 2 points; heading point size (as specified by the MM
          macros) will also be incorrect.  You need to compensate for

          this; the best way is to include new settings in your macro
          set:


          1.  Set the default point size (.ps) and default leading
              (.vs) to two points larger than the size desired.

          2.  Check the point size and leading adjustments in macros
              that format headings, headers, and footers.  If they are
              set with absolute arguments rather than relative, you
              may need to change the arguments' value.

          You may need to experiment to get your documents to look the
          way you want.
