NAME:

Define the name for the following printer definition.

COMMAND:

Enter the command with which you print files. The command has to read the file from the standard input. If you use the bsd printing system this is "lpr", if you use the old printing system this should be "lp".

COPY NUMBER OPTION:

Enter the option of the printer command with wich the number of copies are specified. If you use the bsd printing system (lpr) this is "-#", if you use the old printing system (lp) this should be "-n". This option is the last option passed to the printerrcommand so if you specify a ";#" the option is ignored.

RESOLUTION:

With resolution you specify the resolution that shall be used for printing. It is not always necessary to set this value to the resolution of the printer. Especally in grayscale and color mode it normally is good to set this value to the half or the quarter of the printer resolution because the printer needs a greater resolution to do the dithering. This value does not effect a change of the image size, the image size only depends on the given zoom factor.

PRINT AREA (WIDTH, HEIGHT, LEFT OFFSET, BOTTOM OFFSET):

Each printer has it's own area size and position where it is able to print.

PRINTER GAMMA VALUES:

Addidtional gamma value for printing. The Printer gamma value is used for grayscale and as common value for color mode. The red, green and blue values are for color correction.
