NAME¶

cjet - converts HP PCL to Canon CaPSL format

SYNOPSIS¶

cjet [options]<input.pcl>output

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the cjet command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

cjet converts the common HP PCL page description language to Canon's CaPSL, which was used in the mid-1990s by some Canon laser printers. It is normally used as part of a printer filter script, like the Foomatic system.

OPTIONS¶

-h

Show summary of options.

-f

Use full paint mode instead of partial paint mode. This requires the printer to have at least 1.5 MB of memory to work correctly.

-p

Ignore paper size commands. Useful for printing files formatted for paper size X on printers with paper size Y.

-q

Quiet mode. Suppresses all warning messages.

-x X

Shift output on paper by X dots horizontally. Positive values of X shift to the right; negative values to the left. Dots are 1/300 inch (0.085 mm).

-y Y

Shift output on paper by Y dots vertically. Positive values of Y shift downwards; negative values shift upwards.
