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 and sizes 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) destinationdevice,
     copiertype or printertype GRF tag.  If all GRF tags are
     supported, then each forms type for a printer has three
     entries in the file.  For the GRF tag destinationdevice
     legal value fields are: 4692, 4693d, and 4696 representing
     the Tektronix 4692, 4693D, and 4696 color printers.
     copiertype legal value fields are: copier4692,
     copier4693d, and copier4696. printertype legal value
     fields are: printer4692, printer4693d, and printer4696.

     Note: copiertype, and printertype have been replaced by
     the more generic destinationdevice tag and should be
     avoided.

     For more information on GRF tags 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 inches or millimeters.  If the field is inches
     a suffix of '"' must be appended and if millimeters a suffix
     of 'mm' must be appended.

     The width_dpi and length_dpi fields contain the width and
     length of the media in dots per inch and 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.  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 should have a media type aliased to default
     that represents the  default print media of the printer.
     This allows users to send GRF images to printers without
     knowing the specifics of what forms are loaded.

     The '#' character is 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.
