PS630(1)PS630(1)NAMEps630 - convert Diablo 630 print files to POSTSCRIPT format
SYNOPSISps630 [ -fbodyfont ] [ -Fboldfont ] [ -spitch ] [ -pfile ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTIONps630 reads in files (Diablo 630 format print files) and converts them
to POSTSCRIPT format for printing on a POSTSCRIPT printer. If no files
are specified, the standard input is used. By default, the POSTSCRIPT
program is sent to the standard output. ps630 can convert nroff files
generated with the -Txerox switch. Typewheel emulation information may
be specified as options. Font specifications (for bold and regular)
are POSTSCRIPT font names (e.g., Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Courier-Bold,
Courier-BoldOblique). 10, 12, or 15 characters per inch may be
selected.
The possible options are:
-f bodyfont
sets the font to be used for normal printing. The default is
Courier.
-F boldfont
sets the font to be used for boldface. The default is Courier-
Bold.
-s pitch
selects type size for printing (both the regular and bold fonts
are scaled to this size). Pitch is in characters per inch and
must be one of 10, 12, or 15. The default is 12.
-p file
causes the POSTSCRIPT file to be written to the named file
rather than the standard output.
ENVIRONMENT
PSLIBDIR
path name of a directory to use instead of /usr/lib/transcript
for ps630 prologue.

BUGS
Some applications produce ``bold'' by double striking a character.
This will not appear as bold when translated into POSTSCRIPT. Only the
bold produced by issuing the proper Diablo command sequence (escape-O)
will result in bold characters.
The output of ps630 cannot be page-reversed.
Times-Roman and Helvetica are narrow fonts that may look squeezed if no
adjustment of page width is made by the application.
The following Diablo 630 commands are not supported: print suppression,
HY-Plot, extended character set, downloading print wheel information or
program mode, page lengths other than 11 inches, paper feeder control,
hammer energy control, remote diagnostic, backward printing control
(note, however, that ``reverse printing'' is supported).
