TCPRFORMS(5)            COMMAND REFERENCE            TCPRFORMS(5)



NAME
     tcprforms - TCPR valid forms file

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/tcpr/tcprforms

DESCRIPTION
     The file /usr/lib/tcpr/tcprforms is used by the tcpr
     (Tektronix color printer) commands to determine the valid
     media forms for Tektronix color printers.

     The tcprforms file contains any number of line entries of
     the form:

          <printer_type> <media_name> <media_type> <width>
          <length> <width_dpi> <length_dpi> <alias>
          [<alias> ... ]

     The printer_type field is a string that matches the value
     field of a Generic Rastor Format (GRF) destination_device,
     copier_type or printer_type GRF tag.  If all GRF tags are
     supported, then each forms type for a printer type has three
     entries in the file.  For the GRF tag destination_device
     legal value fields are: 4692, 4693d, and 4696 representing
     the Tektronix 4692, 4693D, and 4696 color printers.  For the
     GRF tag copier_type legal value fields are: copier4692,
     copier4693d, and copier4696. For the GRF tag printer_type
     legal value fields are: printer4692, printer4693d, and
     printer4696.

     Note: The copier_type, and printer_type have been replaced
     by the more generic destination_device tag and should be
     avoided.

     For more information on GRF tags and headers see grf(5).

     The media_name field is an identifier string for media type,
     such as a, a4special, or legal.

     The media_type field is an identifier string for the forms
     type. Valid values are: paper or transparency.

     The width and length fields contain the width and length of
     the media in units of either inches, or millimeters.  If the
     field is in inches then a suffix of '"' must be appended to
     the field. If the field is in millimeters a suffix of 'mm'
     must be appended to the field.

     The width_dpi and length_dpi fields contain the width and
     length of the media in units of dots per inch.  These fields
     contain the maximum addressability for the given printer
     type and media.

     The next fields are a set of one or more aliases for the
     forms in the tcprforms file.  Each alias field must be a
     string of one to eight characters, a requirement of the MDQS
     spooling system for forms type.  If the forms are found in
     the table by the media_name then an alias must be entered
     that matches the media_name field.  The media_name field can
     be no more than eight characters.

     Every printer type should have a media type aliased to
     default. It should represent the  default print media of the
     printer that the GRF image is printed on.  This allows users
     to send GRF images to printers without knowing the specifics
     of what forms are loaded.

     The '#' character is considered to be the comment character.
     All characters after the comment character including the
     next newline character are ignored when the file is
     searched.

EXAMPLES
     This example shows two possible entries for A-size paper
     media for the Tektronix 4693D color printer.  The media can
     be found in the tcprforms file by either the copier4693d or
     printer4693d value field.  The media is identified by the
     following set of aliases: default, a, and ap.

          4693d  a paper 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 default a a_p
          4693d a paper 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 default a a_p

     This example shows an entry for A-size transparency media on
     the Tektronix 4693D color printer.  The media is identified
     by the following set of aliases: at, and trans.

          4693d a transparency 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 a_t trans

     This example shows an entry for A4-size media that specifies
     width and length in millimeters instead of inches.

          4693d a4 transparency 210mm 297mm 2368 2700 a4_t
