IMPRINT(C) XENIX System V IMPRINT(C)
Name
imprint - Prints text files on an IMAGEN printer.
Syntax
imprint [ options ] [ file... ]
Description
imprint queues the specified files for printing on an IMAGEN
printer using either pr(C) or cat(C), and passes the correct
options to ipr(C). If no files are given, the standard
input is read.
The options are:
-Iflag
Pass flag to ipr.
-pflag
Pass flag to either pr or cat.
-Pprinter
Print the output on printer. The default printer is
specified as PRINTER in the file /etc/default/imagen,
which is read by ipr.
-cn Print n copies. This turns on pagecollation.
-hbanner
The string banner is passed to both pr (-h) and ipr
(-f) as the header for this job.
-ln Set the page length to n lines. This may also set the
printer's interline spacing.
-n Use cat rather than pr to print the file.
-wn Set the the line width to n characters. A line width
of more than 80 characters is printed in landscape (132
column) mode.
-2 Print two logical pages per physical page (``2-up'').
-C Suppress pagecollation (see -c above).
-F Suppress pagereversal (which is on by default).
-J Suppress generation of the job header page.
-L Print in landscape mode, 132 columns wide.
-O Print page borders.

IMPRINT(C) XENIX System V IMPRINT(C)-R Print page rules (one every two lines).
-d Prints some information for debugging purposes.
-on The output is offset n character positions from the
left margin.
-Tn The output begins n 1/48's of an inch from the top of
the each page.

Notes
Certain parameters can be overridden by document control
language in the file itself. Also, a -c flag after a -C
flag turns pagecollation on once more.
If the job contains errors detected by the printer, the job
header page is always generated.
The -T option is meaningful only if the IMAGEN printer
language is ``daisy.'' This can be set by -I-Ldaisy. If the
printer language is daisy, then the -o option uses units of
1/120 of an inch, rather a character width.
Older versions of imprint passed any unrecognized option on
to either pr or cat. This is no longer supported, and
either -p or the ``end of options'' delimiter -- must be
used to pass an unmolested option to either pr or cat.
