NAME
       postdaisy - PostScript translator for Diablo 630 files

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

DESCRIPTION
       The postdaisy filter translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel files 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:

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

       -f name Print files using font name.  Any PostScript font can be
               used, although the best results will be obtained only with
               constant-width fonts.  The default font is Courier.

       -h num  Set the initial horizontal motion index to num.  Determines
               the character advance and the default point size, unless the
               -s option is used.  The default is 12.

       -m num  Magnify each logical page by the factor num.  Pages are
               scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near the
               upper left corner 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.

       -r num  Selects carriage return and line feed behavior.  If num is 1,
               a line feed generates a carriage return.  If num is 2, a
               carriage return generates a line feed.  Setting num to 3
               enables both modes.

       -s num  Use point size num instead of the default value set by the
               initial horizontal motion index.

       -v num  Set the initial vertical motion index to num.  The default is
               8.

       -x num  Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
               The default coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
               upper left corner of the page, with positive x to the right
               and positive y down the page.  Positive num moves everything
               right.  The default offset is 0.25 inches.

       -y num  Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
               Positive num moves text up the page.  The default offset is
               -0.25 inches.

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