.SH NAME
foo2qpdl-wrapper \- Convert Postscript into a QPDL printer stream
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B foo2qpdl-wrapper
.RI [ options "] [" ps-file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B foo2qpdl-wrapper
is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the \fBfoo2qpdl\fP printer driver.
This script reads a Postscript \fIps-file\fP or standard input
and converts it to Samsung/Xerox QPDL printer format
for driving the
Samsung CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160, CLP-315, CLX-3175, CLP-600, CLP-610,
CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365,
and Xerox Phaser 6110
QPDL printers.
.P
This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to
be called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic
printer database.

.SS Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of \fBfoo2qpdl\fP
for a particular printer.
.TP
.BI \-u\0 xoff x yoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
.TP
.BI \-l\0 xoff x yoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the
lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
.TP
.BI \-L\0 mask
Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the QPDL stream.
\fBfoo2qpdl-wrapper\fP always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page dimensions,
so that the scale of the image is correct,
regardless whether or not the printer has unprintable regions.
This option is used to move the position of the clipped image
back to where it belongs on the page.  The default is to send
the amount which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be
good in most cases.
.TS
l l.
0	don't send any logical clipping amounts
1	only send Y clipping amount
2	only send X clipping amount
3	send both X and Y clipping amounts
.TE
.TP
.BI \-z\0 model
Printer model. Model 0 is the default.

.SS Color Tweaking Options
These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
.TP
.BI \-a\0 parm=val
Color Adjust.  \fIparm\fP is b, c, s, cr, mg, yb for
brightness, contrast, saturation, cyan-red balance, magenta-green balance,
and yellow-blue balance.
\fIval\fP is 0 to 100.  Multiple options are allowed.
The default is "-ab=50 -ac=50 -as=50 -acr=50 -amg=50 -ayb=50".
This only works when the -z3 (e.g. CLP-365) model is set!
.TP
.BI \-g\0 gsopts
Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as -g\(lq-dDITHERPPI=nnn\(rq,
etc.  This option may appear more than once.
.TP
.BI \-G\0 profile.icm
Convert \fIprofile.icm\fP to a Postscript color rendering
dictionary (CRD) using \fBfoo2zjs-icc2ps\fP and
adjust the printer colors by using the Postscript \fBsetcolorrendering\fP
operator.  (WORK IN PROGRESS).
.TP
.BI \-G\0 gamma-file.ps
Prepend \fIgamma-file.ps\fP to the Postscript input to perform
color correction using the \fBsetcolortransfer\fP Postscript operator.
For example, the file might contain:
.br
{0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
.TP
.BI \-I\0 intent
Select profile intent from the ICM file.
0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute.
Default is 0 (perceptual).
.SS Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging \fBfoo2qpdl\fP and its wrapper.
.TP
.BI \-S\0 plane
Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
on the black plane.  The default is to output all color planes.
.TS

.RS
.nf
foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
qpdldecode < testpage.zm
lpr -P raw testpage.zm
.fi
.RE
.P
Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:

.RS
.nf
foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
.fi
