DESCRIPTION
Reads a PBM image as input. Produces HP LaserJet data as output.
Note that there is no ljtopbm tool.
OPTIONS-resolution
Specifies the resolution of the output device, in dpi. Typical
values are 75, 100, 150, 300, and 600. The default is 75.
-float Suppresses positioning information. The default is to write the
sequence ESC & l 0 E to the output file.
-noreset
Prevents pbmtolj from writing the reset sequences to the begin‐
ning and end of the output file.
-packbits
Enables use of TIFF packbits compression.
-delta Enables use of delta-between-rows compression.
-compress
Enables use of both TIFF packbits, and delta-between-rows com‐
pression.
-copies
Specifies the the number of copies. The default is 1. This
option controls the "number of copies" printer control; pbmtolj
generates only one copy of the image.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
