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.
