NAME
       postdmd - PostScript translator for DMD bitmap files

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postdmd [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
       postdmd translates DMD bitmap files, as produced by dmdps, or files
       written in the Ninth Edition bitfile(9.5) format into PostScript and
       writes the results on the standard output.  If no files are
       specified, or if - is one of the input files, the standard input is
       read.  The following options are understood:

       -b num    Pack the bitmap in the output file using num byte patterns.
                 A value of 0 turns off all packing of the output file.  By
                 default, num is 6.

       -c num    Print num copies of each page.  By default only one copy is
                 printed.

       -f        Flip the sense of the bits in files before printing the
                 bitmaps.

       -m num    Magnify each logical page by the factor num.  Pages are
                 scaled uniformly about the origin, which by default is
                 located at the center of each page.  The default
                 magnification is 1.0.

       -n num    Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
                 can be any positive integer.  By default num is set to 1.

       -o list   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.

       -p mode   Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.  Only the
                 first character of mode is significant.  The default mode
                 is portrait.

       -x num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
                 The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
                 center of the page, with positive x to the right and
                 positive y up the page.  Positive num moves everything
                 right.  The default offset is 0 inches.

       -y num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
                 Positive num moves everything up the page.  The default
                 offset is 0.

       Only one bitmap is printed on each logical page, and each of the
       input files must contain complete descriptions of at least one
       bitmap.  Decreasing the pattern size using the -b option may help
       throughput on printers with fast processors (such as PS-810s), while

       increasing the pattern size will often be the right move on older
       models (such as PS-800s).

DIAGNOSTICS
       An exit status of 0 is returned if files were successfully processed.
