DESCRIPTION
       The  la86of  filter  is	used to filter text data for the Japanese LA86
       printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer  and
       performs	 accounting functions. At print job completion times, account‐
       ing records are written to the file specified by the af	field  in  the
       /etc/printcap file.

       The  la86of 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 filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining,
       superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences  for
       the LA86 printer.

       The  LA86-J  printer  can  be  configured to use the software on-demand
       loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print  user-defined  characters  (UDCs).
       For a more detailed description of SoftODL, see i18n_printing(5).

       To  enable  SoftODL printing, set the ys field in /etc/printcap to 256.
       You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and size by using
       the odldb and odlstyle options of the ya field.	If you specify a value
       for the yt field, use fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for more  information
       on these fields and associated options.

       The la86of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if
       fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For  more  information,  see	print‐
       cap(4).

NOTES
       The  lpr	 command supports a number of options and associated arguments
       to enable localization features supported by various printers. The fol‐
       lowing can be used with the la86of print filter: To specify the SoftODL
       database path To specify SoftODL font style and size

       For a complete description of the -A option and its arguments, 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.
