- NAME
- ppmtomitsu - convert a portable pixmap to a Mitsubishi
- S340-10 file
-
- SYNOPSIS
- ppmtomitsu [-sharpness val] [-enlarge val] [-media string]
- [-copy val] [-dpi300] [-tiny] [ppmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable pixmap as input and converts it into a
- format suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10
- printer, or any other Mitsubishi color sublimation printer.
-
- The Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports
- 24bit color. Images of the available sizes take so long to
- transfer that there is a fast method, employing a
- lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will use if there is a maximum
- of 256 colors in the pixmap. ppmtomitsu will try to
- position your image to the center of the paper, and will
- rotate your image for you if xsize is larger than ysize. If
- your image is larger than the media allows, ppmtomitsu will
- quit with an error message. (We decided that the media were
- too expensive to have careless users produce misprints.)
- Once data transmission has started, the job can't be stopped
- in a sane way without resetting the printer. The printer
- understands putting together images in the printers memory;
- ppmtomitsu doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide the
- same functionality and let you view the result on-screen,
- too. The S340-10 is the lowest common denominator printer;
- for higher resolution printers there's the dpi300 option.
- The other printers also support higher values for enlarge
- eg, but I don't think that's essential enough to warrant a
- change in the program.
-
- -sharpness 1-4
- 'sharpness' designation. Default is to use the current
- sharpness.
-
- -enlarge 1-3
- Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)
-
- -media A, A4, AS, A4S
- Designate the media you're using. Default is 1184 x
- 1350, which will fit on any media. A is 1216 x 1350, A4
- is 1184 x 1452, AS is 1216 x 1650 and A4S is 1184 x
- 1754. A warning: If you specify a different media than
- the printer currently has, the printer will wait until
- you put in the correct media or switch it off.
-
- -copy 1-9
- The number of copies to produce. Default is 1.

-
- -dpi300
- Double the number of allowed pixels for a S3600-30
- Printer in S340-10 compatibility mode. (The S3600-30
- has 300 dpi).
-
- -tiny
- Memory-safing, but always slow. The printer will get
- the data line-by-line in 24bit. It's probably a good
- idea to use this if your machine starts paging a lot
- without this option.
