NAME

+ + + + + +

fax2ps − convert a TIFF facsimile to +compressed PostScript™

+ +

SYNOPSIS

+ + + + + +

fax2ps [ options ] [ file ... ]

+ +

DESCRIPTION

+ + + + + +

fax2ps reads one or more TIFF +facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of +PostScript on the standard output that is suitable for +printing.

+ +

By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image +dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The +−x and −y options can be used to +specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions +(lines/inch), respectively. If the −S option is +specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page. The +default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page +dimensions can be specified in inches with the +−W and −H options.

+ +

By default fax2ps generates PostScript for all +pages in the file. The −p option can be used to +select one or more pages from a multi-page document.

+ +

fax2ps generates a compressed form of PostScript +that is optimized for sending pages of text to a PostScript +printer attached to a host through a low-speed link (such as +a serial line). Each output page is filled with white and +then only the black areas are drawn. The PostScript +specification of the black drawing operations is optimized +by using a special font that encodes the move-draw +operations required to fill the black regions on the page. +This compression scheme typically results in a substantially +reduced PostScript description, relative to the +straightforward imaging of the page with a PostScript +image operator. This algorithm can, however, be +ineffective for continuous-tone and white-on-black images. +For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send the +raster bitmap image directly; see tiff2ps(1).

+ +

OPTIONS

+ + + + + + + +

+ +

−p number

+ +

Print only the indicated page. Multiple pages may be +printed by specifying this option more than once.

+ + + + + +

−x resolution

+ + + + + +

Use resolution as the horizontal resolution, in +dots/inch, of the image data. By default this value is taken +from the file.

+ + + + + +

−y resolution

+ + + + + +

Use resolution as the vertical resolution, in +lines/inch, of the image data. By default this value is +taken from the file.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + −S +	+ + Scale each page of image data to fill the output page +dimensions. By default images are presented according to the +dimension information recorded in the TIFF +file. +	+
+ + −W width +	+ + Use width as the width, in inches, of the output +page. +	+
+ + −H height +	+ + Use height as the height, in inches, of the +output page. +	+

+ +

DIAGNOSTICS

+ + + + + +

Some messages about malformed TIFF images +come from the TIFF library.

+ +

Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images +may be generated due to transmission errors in received +facsimile. fax2ps attempts to recover from such data +errors by resynchronizing decoding at the end of the current +scanline. This can result in long horizontal black lines in +the resultant PostScript image.

+ +

NOTES

+ + + + + +

If the destination printer supports PostScript Level II +then it is always faster to just send the encoded bitmap +generated by the tiff2ps(1) program.

+ +

BUGS

+ + + + + +

fax2ps should probably figure out when it is doing +a poor job of compressing the output and just generate +PostScript to image the bitmap raster instead.
