NAME
ppmtomitsu - convert a portable pixmap to a Mitsubishi
S340-10 file
SYNOPSIS
ppmtomitsu [-sharpness val] [-enlarge val] [-media string]
[-copy val] [-tiny] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input and converts it into a
format suitable to be printed by an Mitsubishi S340-10
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.
-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.
-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

anyway :-) If you should find one, my email-adress is below.
