NAME

lpf_549ymcnf, lpf_549ymcknf, lpf_549blcknf − ditroff print filters for NWP-549

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549ymcnf
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549ymcknf
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549blcknf

DESCRIPTION

lpf_549ymcnf, lpf_549ymcknf and lpf_549blcknf are lpr(1) output filters for outputting data input as ditroff format data to the NWP-549 (color printer).
The three filters correspond to the different types of color ribbons which can be mounted in the NWP-549 (3-color, 4-color and monochrome ink sheet). Normally, only one NWP-549 entry is left in the file /etc/printcap (default colorprinter_name) and the other two are commented out (by typing a # at the beginning of the line). When using a remote printer, only one NWP-549 entry should be left in the /etc/printcap printer server machine file.

EXAMPLES

To use these files, they must be recorded in the file /etc/printcap. 
The default setting is:

:nf=/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549{ymcnf,ymcknf,blcknf}: To execute it, the normal method of using lpr(1) should be employed:

lpr −Pcolorprinter_name −n ditroff-data Note that the filter setting option (−n in this case) must be specified.

LIMITATIONS

The character size printed on a color printer is about 10 percent smaller than the point size specified because the printing area for a color printer is smaller than one for a laser printer. 
However, by changing the paper size entry in these filters (shell script) as follows:

PAPER=A4L you can obtain the same output on A4L as one printed on a laser printer.  To make a KANJI character output, Sony-format Outline font (Available in NWF-605, NWF-629, NWF-631 − 636C etc.) is required.
