     IMPRINT(C)               XENIX System V                IMPRINT(C)



     Name
          imprint - Prints text files on an IMAGEN printer.

     Syntax
          imprint [ options ] [ file... ]

     Description
          imprint queues the specified files for printing on an IMAGEN
          printer using either pr(C) or cat(C), and passes the correct
          options to ipr(C).  If no files are given, the standard
          input is read.

          The options are:

          -Iflag
               Pass flag to ipr.

          -pflag
               Pass flag to either pr or cat.

          -Pprinter
               Print the output on printer.  The default printer is
               specified as PRINTER in the file /etc/default/imagen,
               which is read by ipr.

          -cn  Print n copies.  This turns on pagecollation.

          -hbanner
               The string banner is passed to both pr (-h) and ipr
               (-f) as the header for this job.

          -ln  Set the page length to n lines.  This may also set the
               printer's interline spacing.

          -n   Use cat rather than pr to print the file.

          -wn  Set the the line width to n characters.  A line width
               of more than 80 characters is printed in landscape (132
               column) mode.

          -2   Print two logical pages per physical page (``2-up'').

          -C   Suppress pagecollation (see -c above).

          -F   Suppress pagereversal (which is on by default).

          -J   Suppress generation of the job header page.

          -L   Print in landscape mode, 132 columns wide.

          -O   Print page borders.

     IMPRINT(C)               XENIX System V                IMPRINT(C)



          -R   Print page rules (one every two lines).

          -d   Prints some information for debugging purposes.

          -on  The output is offset n character positions from the
               left margin.

          -Tn  The output begins n 1/48's of an inch from the top of
               the each page.

          cat(C), ipr(C), pr(C)

     Notes
          Certain parameters can be overridden by document control
          language in the file itself.  Also, a -c flag after a -C
          flag turns pagecollation on once more.

          If the job contains errors detected by the printer, the job
          header page is always generated.

          The -T option is meaningful only if the IMAGEN printer
          language is ``daisy.'' This can be set by -I-Ldaisy.  If the
          printer language is daisy, then the -o option uses units of
          1/120 of an inch, rather a character width.

          Older versions of imprint passed any unrecognized option on
          to either pr or cat.  This is no longer supported, and
          either -p or the ``end of options'' delimiter -- must be
          used to pass an unmolested option to either pr or cat.
