DESCRIPTION
       The  la280of  filter is used to filter text data for the Japanese LA280
       printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer  and
       performs accounting functions. At print job completion time, accounting
       records are written to the file	specified  by  the  af	field  in  the
       /etc/printcap file.

       The la280of filter can handle plain text files and files that have been
       preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII char‐
       acters.	The  la280of  filter  translates  nroff	 control sequences for
       underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the  proper  control
       sequences for the LA280 printer.

       The  la280of  filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the
       if fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For  more	information  on	 these
       fields, see printcap(4).

       The  LA280-J  printer  can  be configured to use the software on-demand
       loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print  user-defined  characters  (UDCs).
       See i18n_printing(5) for more information about SoftODL.

       To  enable  the SoftODL mechanism, set the ys value in /etc/printcap to
       256.  You can also set the default SoftODL  database,  style  and  size
       through	the  odldb  and odlstyle options for the ya field.  If you set
       the yt value, set it to fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for	more  informa‐
       tion on these fields and associated options.

NOTES
       The  lpr	 command  supports a number of options associated with printer
       localization features.  The following can be used with the la280of fil‐
       ter: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font style
       and size

       For more information on the lpr -A option, refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS
       The lf field (default value is /dev/null)  in  the  /etc/printcap  file
       specifies the name of the error log.
