DESCRIPTION
The postdaisy filter translates Diablo 630 daisy-wheel files into Post‐
Script and writes the results on the standard output. If no files are
specified, or if − is one of the input files, the standard input is
read.
OPTIONS-c num Print num copies of each page. By default only one copy is
printed.
-f name Print files using font name. Any PostScript font can be
used, although the best results will be obtained only with
constant-width fonts. The default font is Courier.
-h num Set the initial horizontal motion index to num. Determines
the character advance and the default point size, unless the
-s option is used. The default is 12.
-m num Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are
scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near the
upper left corner of each page. The default magnification is
1.0.
-n num Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1.
-o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 − N2.
A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2
means the highest. The page range is an expression of logi‐
cal pages rather than physical sheets of paper. For example,
if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you
specified a range of 4, then two sheets of paper would
print, containing four page layouts. If you specified a page
range of 3-4, when requesting two logical pages to a sheet;
then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they
would appear on one physical sheet of paper.
-p mode Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the
first character of mode is significant. The default mode is
portrait.
-r num Selects carriage return and line feed behavior. If num is 1,
a line feed generates a carriage return. If num is 2, a car‐
riage return generates a line feed. Setting num to 3 enables
both modes.
-s num Use point size num instead of the default value set by the
initial horizontal motion index.
-v num Set the initial vertical motion index to num. The default is
8.
-x num Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
The default coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
upper left corner of the page, with positive x to the right
and positive y down the page. Positive num moves everything
right. The default offset is 0.25 inches.
-y num Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
Positive num moves text up the page. The default offset is
−0.25 inches.
