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.
