LPF_XWD549YMC(8)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

lpf_xwd549ymc, lpf_xwd549ymck, lpf_xwd549blck − XWD image print filters for NWP-549

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sony/lib/lpf_xwd549ymc
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_xwd549ymck
/usr/sony/lib/lpf_xwd549blck

DESCRIPTION

lpf_xwd549ymc, lpf_xwd549ymck and lpf_xwd549blck are lpr(1) output filters for outputting data input as XWD format image 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:

:xf=/usr/sony/lib/lpf_xwd549{ymc,ymck,blck}: To execute it, the normal method of using lpr(1) should be employed:

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

LIMIT

The XWD format data that can be output is limited to image data which is convertible using the xwdconv command. The visual_class must be direct24, direct16, pseudo8, pseudo4, gray8, gray4 or bitmap, and the pixmap_format must be ZPixmap.
