- -s source
- Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [0].
Printer Tweaking Options¶
These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2slx for a
particular printer.
- -u xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -l xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -L mask
- Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].
| 0 |
don't send any logical clipping amounts |
| 1 |
only send Y clipping amount |
| 2 |
only send X clipping amount |
| 3 |
send both X and Y clipping amounts |
- -A
- AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input
only.
- -B
- BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.
Debugging Options¶
These options are used for debugging
foo2slx.
- -S plane
- Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the
black plane. The default is to output all color planes.

EXAMPLES¶
Create a black and white SLX stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2slx -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color SLX stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
