DESCRIPTION
The posttek filter
translates Tektronix 4014 graphics
files
into PostScript and writes the results on the
standard output.
If no
files
are specified, or if - is one of the input
files,
the standard input is read.
OPTIONS
- -c num
-
Print
num
copies of each page.
By default, only one copy is printed.
- -f name
-
Print text using font
name.
Any PostScript font can be used,
although the best results will be
obtained only with constant width fonts.
The default font is Courier.
- -m num
-
Magnify each logical page by the factor
num.
Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin
which, by default, is located at the center of each page.
The default magnification is
1.0.
- -n num
-
Print
num
logical pages on each piece of paper,
where
num
can be any positive integer.
By default,
num
is set to
1.
- -o list
-
Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
list.
The list contains single numbers
N
and ranges
N1 - N2.
A missing
N1
means the lowest numbered page, a missing
N2
means the highest.
The page range is an expression of logical pages rather
than physical sheets of paper.
For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a
sheet, and you specified a range of
4,
then two sheets of paper would print, containing four
page layouts.
If you specified a page range of
3-4,
when requesting two logical pages to a sheet; then only
page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would
appear on one physical sheet of paper.
- -p mode
-
Print
files
in either portrait or landscape
mode.
Only the first character of
mode
is significant.
The default
mode
is landscape.
- -w num
-
Set the line width used for graphics to
num
points, where a point is approximately 1/72
of an inch.
By default,
num
is set to
0
points, which forces lines to be
one pixel wide.
- -x num
-
Translate the origin
num
inches along the positive x axis.
The default
coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
center of the page, with positive
x to the right and positive y up the page.
Positive
num
moves everything right.
The default offset is
0.0
inches.
- -y num
-
Translate the origin
num
inches along the positive y axis.
Positive
num
moves everything up the page.
The default offset is
0.0.

print engines, such as the one used by the PS-2400.
