NAME

lpf_549ymcif, lpf_549ymckif, lpf_549blckif − CDIF print filters for NWP-549

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549ymcif
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549ymckif
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549blckif

DESCRIPTION

lpf_549ymcif, lpf_549ymckif and lpf_549blckif are lpr(1) output filters for outputting data input as CDIF 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:

:cf=/usr/sony/lib/lpf_549{ymcif,ymckif,blckif}: To execute it, the normal method of using lpr(1) should be employed:

lpr −Pcolorprinter_name −c CDIFdata Note that the filter setting option (−c in this case) must be specified. 

LIMITS

To make a KANJI character output, Sony-format Outline font (Available in NWF-605, NWF-629, NWF-631 − 636C etc.)  is required.
