epson Command epson Print epson [ -cdfrw8 ] [ -b head ] [ -i n ] [ -o ofile ] [ -s n ] [ file ... ] epson prints each file, or the standard input if none, on an Epson MX-80 printer or compatible. epson normally sends its out- put directly to the line printer /dev/lp. It recognizes the nroff output sequences for boldface and italics and normally con- verts them to emphasized print and italics. epson recognizes the following options: -b head Print the given head as a double-width banner at the top of the first output page. -c Use compressed printing mode. -d Print boldface as double strikes. Normally, epson recog- nizes the sequence ``c\bc'' as boldface and prints c in em- phasized printing mode. -d is useful in conjunction with -c. -f Do not print a formfeed character at the end of each file. -in Indent n spaces at the start of each output line. -o ofile Send output to ofile instead of /dev/lp. -r Print all characters in Roman; do not use italics. Norm- ally, epson recognizes the sequence ``_\bc'' as italic and prints c in its italic character set. -sn Print n newlines at the end of each line. n must be 1, 2, or 3; the default is 1. -w Use double width printing mode. -8 Print lines with vertical spacing of eight lines per inch instead of the default six lines per inch. ***** Files ***** /dev/lp -- Line printer ***** See Also ***** commands, lpr, nroff, pr ***** Diagnostics ***** epson prints appropriate messages on the standard error if it cannot open a file or if an argument is incorrect.
