GROLJ4(1) General Commands Manual GROLJ4(1)

NAME

grolj4 - groff driver for HP LaserJet 4 family

SYNOPSIS

grolj4 [-l] [-c num-copies] [-d [n]] [-F font-directory] [-p paper-size] [-w line-width] [file ...]
grolj4 --help
grolj4 -v
grolj4 --version

DESCRIPTION

grolj4 is a driver for groff that produces output in PCL5 format suitable for an HP LaserJet 4 printer.

There is an additional drawing command available:

Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one corner at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the current position +(dh,dv). Afterwards the current position will be at the opposite corner. This generates a PCL fill rectangle command, and so will work on printers that do not support HPGL/2 unlike the other \D commands.

OPTIONS

Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.

Print num-copies copies of each page.
Print the document with a landscape orientation.
[n] Use duplex mode n: 1 is long-side binding; 2 is short-side binding; default is 1.
Set the paper size to paper-size, which must be one of letter, legal, executive, a4, com10, monarch, c5, b5, dl.
Print the version number.
Set the default line thickness to line-width thousandths of an em. If this option isn't specified, the line thickness defaults to 0.04 em.
Prepend directory font-directory/devname to the search path for font and device description files; name is the name of the device, usually lj4.

The following four commands are available additionally in the font description files:

The integer value N must be in the range -7 to +7; default is 0.
The integer value N must be in the range 0 to 32767; default is 0.
A boolean flag which can be either 0 or 1; default is 0.
The integer value N must be in the range 0 to 65535; default is 0.
