       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.
